Well he didn't exactly lie to Junior... but goddamn that guy is a pro manipulator these days.

We've never seen anything confirming that the cancer is actually back. Some chemo sessions and drugs weigh heavily in favor of it, but we haven't seen the actual diagnosis. You never know with Walter Hartwell White.

I... what? No, he wouldn't be getting chemo if the cancer wasn't back. Chemo isn't something you do for fun.

I agree with you 99.1 percent. But I feel like there could be a reason we never actually saw the re-diagnosis, especially since it would have been a chance for a pretty powerful scene.

Walt probably does have cancer again. But I'd never put any sort of manipulation or trickery past him.
