I, personally, don't want that the be the excuse if/when Walt meets his end. To me that's the easy way out for him and he doesn't deserve it. But however it ends, I think it'll be good.

I think you only lose your hair if you're on chemo. So he could have stopped treatment voluntarily, or he might have reached a point where the docs said chemo wouldn't help anymore.
