It’s one test that might even scare a Stuyvesant HS graduate.
Two former students at the elite lower Manhattan school who were sickened by toxins on 9/11 want others to get screened — no matter how frightening the prospect.
Shoshana Dornhelm and Tal Beery will join teachers-union President Michael Mulgrew, attorneys and health-care advocates in front of the school on Chambers Street Thursday to raise the alarm.
The Post reported last fall that at least 12 former students at Stuyvesant and other schools in the vicinity of Ground Zero have developed cancer as they’ve reached their 20s and 30s.
Thursday’s event will provide information to those who may have been exposed and could be eligible for continuing health care and compensation.
Dornhelm, 31, of Park Slope, Brooklyn, was stunned to learn in 2016 that she had Hodgkin’s lymphoma.
“It was a lot of shock more than anything,” she told The Post. “I caught it in Stage 2. I was diligent to get the tests done.”
Dornhelm said there were no signs of an illness until she detected swollen lymph nodes more than a decade after graduating from Stuyvesant.
Now working in marketing, Dornhelm underwent a grueling chemotherapy regimen and her scans are now clean.
“You’re connecting one traumatic event to another traumatic event,” she said. “It’s not the easiest thing. It’s important to get checked out and have a good attitude,” she said.
Beery, of The Bronx, graduated from Stuyvesant in 2002 and was diagnosed with asthma a year later.
“It’s so important for people to come out for that,” the artist said of the informational event. “More people should take advantage of it.”
A “know your rights” coalition, spearheaded by attorney Michael Barasch, was launched in November to help people register for testing and compensation programs.
“When you hear kids or young adults are getting cancer, all of a sudden people are paying attention,” Barasch said.
