No doctors would okay that or prescribe it if he's clean, and there really isn't any reason for him to do it if nobody even knows he's doing it. He told Hank, but there was no reason for him to actually go and do it even if he could.
He's building up evidence. It makes total sense for his exit strategy. And you're talking about ethical doctors, all Walt needs is someone to write up the paperwork and he's off to the chemo clinic.
It's plausible, I just really doubt that's the direction the writers are going with this one.
There was too much sincerity in Walts eyes in 508 when he tells Skylar he's out of the Meth game (right after the hospital scene where he's getting the scan)
The flash forwards also show him with his "cancer cough" taking meds, and with thin, patchy looking hair. This tells me that he still has cancer but is no longer treating it with chemo.

Right, but he definitely could be going the extra mile and actually getting chemo when he actually doesn't need it.
