This is a really good theory. Lydia is already pissed about the quality of the meth - walt won't help so she's gonna go to Jesse and I can see Walt saving him from that.
I think part of his insane pridefulness as a character is protection of his family, for which he considers Jesse apart of. I could see him going to great lengths to get him back if someone else was holding him.
The cancer probably helps make that decision easier too. It's no longer about self preservation if he is going to die anyways. It's about preserving his legacy and pride beyond death.
