Meet Cheryl, who had her first CT after being diagnosed with breast cancer

Facing a life-changing medical diagnosis is easier with lots of support, which is why Cheryl was so appreciative of the surroundings at Radia and the opportunity to have her family close by.  Here Cheryl talks about her experience having a CT scan performed at Radia, and how the quality of the equipment and the technologists made a difference in her care.
