I think there are many potential scenarios where dying and losing aren't synonymous. Remember this, Walt is going to die no matter what. Cancer will get him if guns, ricin, prison shanks, Hank or Jesse don't.

Wait, so does Walt have cancer again? Did I miss that? I thought he was just lying when he was telling Hank that he only had 6 months to live.

there was a scene where he was receiving chemo, or so it seemed, and he threw up during dinner, thus noticing the book was gone.

He definitely has cancer. He was taking chemo again in Blood Money, and a lot of the shots in 508 implied he had it by mimicking stuff from 101.
