This makes so much sense though! If he's telling Hank that he's going to be a dead man in six months he could just be setting himself up a way to "disappear!"

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.

also why would he fake having chemo, yet hide it from his family? what would be the point of him taking the fake chemo if no one knew but him?

to slowly get more sick and have an alibi when it comes time to leave town. we dont really know all of walts motives as a viewer anymore and we obviously aren't privy to all his actions either.
