Christina Gray Story

A love of traveling was something that Zangmeister Center patient Christina Gray shared with her husband, but she never expected she would also share cancer with him.

In 2009, Christina Gray was diagnosed with Paget’s disease, a rare form of breast cancer, which affects the skin around the exterior area of the breast and the nipple. Since her diagnosis, she has undergone a series of six surgeries to remove pre-cancerous skin.

Her husband Jack is in remission from prostate cancer and was also a patient at The Zangmeister Center.

Christina and Jack didn’t mind making an hour-long trip for their treatment—to them the quality of care and piece of mind the Zangmeister Center provides was worth it. The couple lives in Mansfield, Ohio, a city about 41 miles north of Columbus. They were referred to The Zangmeister Center by their local phyisican.

“I am so grateful to the Zangmeister doctors and staff, it is simply a wonderful place,” Christina says.

Christina says her surgeries never stopped her from doing the things in life she enjoyed, such as knitting, walking, swimming and traveling.

“I never knew that cancer could be convenient,” she remembers. “I say that in all honestly, The Zangmeister Center made managing cancer for my husband and me pretty convenient. And, they just make you feel so good when you walk in there.”
