A good tongue lashing should suffice to put said boss in their place. Stupid remarks should not be the stuff of lawsuits.

As insensitive as it reads without further context, I can imagine that being a friendly quip, a sort of inside joke, between two long-time friends after one of them gets cancer sever enough to warrant chemotherapy.

They are not.
They are employer and employee. They have no social relationship.

Lawsuit. Get the asshole fired.
People like this ruin the workplace, in my experience.

I worked somewhere, and a woman took an extended time off for skin cancer treatment. When she returned, still showing pretty nasty looking scars my boss said 'You were off for so long, I didn't think you were coming back!'.

Nothing, other than a very upset employee. The guy was a real shithead. Incidentally, he made my work life a living hell for about 5 years. In retrospect I realise I ended up suffering from depression because of him, and he made numerous people's lives an absolute misery - some people left, one guy had to take time off for clinical depression.
He'd worked there for decades, and was pretty much untouchable. The worst combination of arrogance and incompetence I've ever come across.
Sorry, I didn't mean to go off on a rant.

If this is a big company, then they should be able to report him.
Of course, their career's likely over if they do that.

It's not. Small, small company. Perhaps 10 employees?

It's hard to know what to do. If she complains and he isn't fired, it will likely just make her life worse.

he isn't fired,
He won't be.
His mother owns the company, and he runs it. As I said, small, small outfit.

Ditch this “family run” business and go work for a big corporation with a proper HR department.

Yes, but file a lawsuit.
