The sample consisted of 33 people and was taken using accidental sampling technique. There are 2 types of research data, namely primary data (frequency of chemotherapy and nutritional status) and secondary data (leukocyte levels). Data analysis used the Pearson chi-square test (α<0.050) with the Pearson product moment test. The results of the study showed that there was a relationship between the frequency of chemotherapy and the nutritional status of breast cancer patients (p=0.043) with a low correlation (r=-0.235) and there was a relationship between the frequency of chemotherapy and the leukocyte levels of breast cancer patients (p=0.009) with a medium correlation. or quite strong (r=-0.530).
