Survivors of the Grenfell Tower blaze have called for 'intensive testing' after firefighters who attended the 2017 blaze were diagnosed with terminal cancer. Up to a dozen firefighters who attended the tower block blaze have had a cancer diagnosis for which there is no cure.
Some are aged only in their 40s, a Mirror investigation found. Grenfell survivors have been told their health monitoring will be reviewed but believe more needs to be done so they can stop “living in fear” of deadly diseases from Grenfell’s toxins.
Those who have not yet been diagnosed have told the Mirror they fear for the future, with some cancers taking up to 25 years to appear. Nina Mendy, 42, said her mum Clarrie Mendy, 61, died in 2020 of motor neurone disease, which she believes was linked.
