Bleeding gums led to man's leukemia diagnosis

A 34-year-old DJ, Gareth Memphis, was diagnosed with leukemia after experiencing persistent bleeding gums and fatigue. The diagnosis came after he sought medical attention for the unusual symptoms. Memphis, known as DJ G-A-Z, initially dismissed his fatigue as a result of his active lifestyle. The bleeding gums, which didn't stop, prompted a dentist visit and subsequent blood tests revealing the life-threatening cancer. Now undergoing chemotherapy, Memphis is raising awareness about leukemia through social media and a planned podcast. He emphasizes the importance of recognizing symptoms, even in those with healthy lifestyles.
