However it is utterly disgusting to guilt-trip someone into chemotherapy,, up to the point where you have an intervention about it. When Walter first hears about his cancer, it's unsubtly made clear his chances are not too great. It's perfectly valid to not want to spent the last months or years of your life in a hospital bed feeling shitty. Hell, even if it would be free, that still doesn't mean one needs to accept chemo.
Most of us want to live, obviously, but when it's clear you're going to die it also becomes about quality of live, not mere prolongation. This wasn't about making Walter realize he wanted to live. This was about selfishly wanting him to have a horrible treatment that might now work because it made her feel better about the shitty situation they were in.
