She was diagnosed with Dementia and her brain showed no signs of having the disease. She was also diagnosed with pancreatic cancer due to shading on an X-ray and her symptoms. Again, not found during an extensive autopsy. She was treated for both and had neither.
My mother passed away in 2010. The findings of her autopsy, her extensive journals, and a wonderful medical community that dealt with her diseases "with the knowledge they had at the time" will help not just my blood line, but hopefully many people. As she always said, it can't end with her and through her sacrifices, and our persistence it won't. The Internet is a wonderful source of information, but can only cover a small percentage of knowledge available.
