Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this research study is to describe a patients' fitness before and after treatment (whether that treatment be chemotherapy or a transplant). Fitness is a way of measuring a patient's current quality of health. With surveys, questionnaires and blood tests, we hope to create a tool that will give a good picture of patients' ability to tolerate treatment. In the future, we hope to devise the best treatment for a patient based on their "fitness".

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Change in Comprehensive Frailty Assessment
Time Frame: up to 14 months
Responses to the Comprehensive Frailty Assessment will be assessed before and after treatment and changes will be evaluated. In transplant patients, this will be measured one year post transplant and in the non-transplant arm, this will be assessed after the second cycle of treatment.
