Jill Zitzewitz applies cancer lessons in classroom and pandemic
As an educator, a scientist and a patient undergoing treatment for multiple myeloma, Jill A. Zitzewitz, PhD, has a unique perspective on dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic.
“This is a bit scary, being back in treatment and wondering how the virus is going to impact things,” said Dr. Zitzewitz, associate professor of biochemistry & molecular pharmacology, who gets weekly infusions at UMass Memorial Medical Center. “On the other hand, I feel like having cancer made me used to feeling unsettled. In some ways, it’s made this easier. You’re used to not knowing what’s going to happen tomorrow.”
