I'm sorry, but your quality of life with an untreated illness like cancer is not that fucking great. So, she lets him die because he doesn't want to spend money on treatment that has a decent chance of working (I recall him having a good chance of going into remission) and he languishes away in his last months being sick anyway because he's dying of cancer? I don't blame her for not accepting that. He doesn't want the treatment because he doesn't want to destroy his family's finances, not because he doesn't care to live, not because he gives a shit about "quality of life."

He felt like a failure at life, but I think he wanted to live. He didn't have to do the chemo. I mean, when has anyone stopped Walt from from doing what he wants?

Your quality of life under cancer treatments isn't great, either-- and arguably, it'll prolong the not-great life you'll have. The point is, Walter was told that remission was a longshot and that the treatment would drain his finances. If I were told that, I might well make the decision not to undergo chemo. My family doesn't have to agree 100%, but they should at least respect that it's my call because it's my body.

Yeah, and Skylar does.

Or did you miss the bit where he makes the speech and she *leaves it alone* and then he decides to have the treatment?

You don't get credit for "leaving it alone" after you've gone and laid down a heavy guilt tripping. O_o
