A Canadian teacher with Stage 4 breast cancer is hoping to make the best of the time she has left and see her favourite comedian host“My whole life, comedy has been really important to me, but then, especially during my diagnosis and these last two and a half years, I like to use humour to get through the hard times,” says Laura Murray, 36.
The elementary school teacher from Ottawa has been living with Stage 4 metastatic breast cancer for the last two and a half years.She has undergone chemotherapy, radiation and now a regimen of targeted therapy every three weeks.“My current regimen is working really well so far, which is amazing. I just got scans back, and they didn’t find any progression,” she says.
“It’s been about a year that I’ve been thinking about, ‘OK, I’m going to get to Target Lady stage, and that’s going to be exciting.’ So it does help me get through it.”Laura Murray, 36, a teacher from Ottawa with Stage 4 breast cancer dressed up as her favourite Kristen Wiig ‘SNL’ character, Target Lady, to celebrate her hair growing back.
