No. He dyed his hair to be like the main character throughout TBP, The Patient.
TBP is basicaly a story about the Patient.

Excerpt from Rolling Stone Magazine:
A few years ago, Gerard Way says, he was a dead man walking, racked by cocaine and alcohol addictions that helped the shy kid face the public. But his problems caught up with him, and he got seriously ill while on tour in Japan in 2004. The My Chemical Romance singer has since kicked those habits, revitalizing his New Jersey quintet and making one of the best rock records of 2006, The Black Parade. The concept album uses The Wall, Sgt. Pepper and Queen's A Night at the Opera as touchstones; with the guidance of producer Rob Cavallo (also behind Green Day's American Idiot), MCR holed up in a haunted monastery in Los Angeles to create a twisted, heroic and ultimately hopeful concept album about a cancer patient who discovers a will to live and love, after getting a sneak peek at death. And MCR's live shows have turned into theatrical extravaganzas, with Way (who dyed his hair platinum "to look bald and deathly") and his bandmates donning black marching-band get-ups. "I was so afraid of making something that wasn't special, not fulfilling a destiny," he says at a tour stop in Glasgow. "I was like, 'My whole life is leading up to this, will I have anything to say?' Now, playing those songs every night is like a victory."

Nah. Gerard never had cancer. he said that it was to get into the mind of the character portrayed in the album, called "The Patient".
I have the album, and I must say, he does give some great vocal performances!
Although he hasn't had cancer, he did get severely drunk, depressed, and drugged. He's sober now though.
I actually liked it more blonde n short than the long black hair he used 2 hav.
He dyed it back to black 2 weeks before xmas coz it was turning white :S
If theres ne other MCR stuff u wanna know, email me!

no he wanted to play the character the patient of welcome to the black parade, thats why he had his hair cut short and bleached (to make him look ill). He's hot.
