Purpose of this Study
In this study, people will answer questions and do simple physical tests three times over six months. They will be randomly placed into one of two groups: one gets coping skills training with a nurse by phone, and the other gets regular care. Everyone will also get a short health check during cancer visits to look for problems like memory loss or falling.
