“The only thing she was telling us was telling us was that there was only weakness and that was the only thing she was feeling – no pain, nothing else, just weakness. I would really like to tell all the people if they are feeling bad to come out and do a test – don’t be afraid. My mom – honestly she was telling us that I feel ok and I feel better and suddenly she just felt bad and that is when she died.”
