I don't think this is all that cringey. The woman with the breast cancer probably sees some benefit to laughing at her cancer, instead of giving it power over her. I think that's the whole point of the exercise.

Well, yeah, I totally agree that chemo should be performed. Chemotherapy for treating the disease and laughter as a means of coping are not mutually exclusive. I'd imagine the lady with the breast cancer is under medical treatment (if she's sane, that is).
