A patient was considered to be nonadherent
if they did not present for two
consecutive doses of chemotherapy. Patients
who had dose reduction and/ or omission due
to inadequate haematological profile or poor
clinical condition were not included as
defaulters. The patients who missed their
medications due to no fault of theirs either
because of unplanned public holidays or other
reasons beyond their control were excluded
from the study. The data were subjected to
descriptive analyses.
