Mehmet thought he was struggling to get over the flu. Weeks later, he was dead

A Sydney father-of-two has died just weeks after being diagnosed with leukaemia — after going to see a doctor thinking he was just struggling to get over the flu.

Mehmet Çetin first became unwell while on holiday in Türkiye with his wife and children in early August.

“He couldn’t get better, couldn’t recover from the flu,” family friend Yigit Gunduz told 7NEWS.com.au.
