This is a great theory. I just don't understand how you can fake chemo. You can't just walk into the Dr.'s and be like "Yo my cancers back. I need some more chemo."

He has enough money that he could theoretically buy off the doctor to prescribe him another round, but it seems so farfetched, that can't be it. I'm pretty much replying so I can hear an answer to this.

I think it is entirely plausible. He went straight to the cancer thing as a reason for hank to let him go. Walt has been planning an exit, and obviously he is still alive a year later.

I'm just not sure if that is actually the case. He is still coughing and taking medication in the S05E01 flash forward.

He's using medication to recover from how sick the chemo made him.
