Abstract
A patient with cancer should always anticipate a positive response; however, he should be aware of the correct facts. Thus, what does a patient diagnosed with triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) think and perceive? Similar to many oncologists, the word “triple-negative” brings a mental picture of, “A disease that will be difficult to treat, relapse early, and have a very short survival when relapsed.” Although this assumption is challenging for the doctor, it is particularly terrifying for the patient. Furthermore, the effect of emotional state on survival is a well-established fact.1
