Summary
This study tested whether weekly nurse phone calls could help people with chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) stick to their chemotherapy plan and reduce side effects. Sixty patients were split into two groups: one received regular care, and the other also got a weekly call to check on their health. The goal was to see if the calls helped patients get the full planned dose of their chemo drugs.
