The last sentence of this news story in USA Today gets things exactly right: "You can only find so much comedy in someone else's demise." Hollywood is in this for yucks and bucks; nothing new in that.  There have been many thoughtful treatments in both print and electronic media of what it's like to live with cancer, but this is not one of them.
