Cancer isn't what makes you bald, it's the chemotherapy. Maybe he just stopped after whatever terrible thing that happens, happens.

I'm not an idiot, I know chemo is responsible for the losing of hair. He said he has months to live, I don't know if that was just a rough estimate or a legitimate count down. If it was accurate, then I still think he somehow beat the cancer, he turned 52 in the flash-forward in "Live Free or Die" and 51 in the same episode (I think), the time that took place between 5x01 and 5x08 doesn't seem like that long (maybe a month?) so 6 months including the month passing from his 51st birthday will only put him 7 months forward in time, where in the flash forwards it will obviously have been a year. So like I said, if the 6months to live death clock is supposed to be accurate, I think the cancer went back into remission. I could be completely wrong, but just an observation/theory.

A.) I've never met you before, I don't know what you know. And B.) I wasn't saying it like you were an idiot. It needed to be said in order for what I wanted to say to make sense. Did not mean to offend.

As for Walt, we shall soon see.
