Get help for your self. If you able to talk to a professional and you might find some ways to assertively communicate in the situation that serves you both, but especially you. Most important is to acknowledge your self. I think we walk on egg shells around a sick person and they get in bad habits of self serving. I have gotten quite forceful at times with my husband, but I also have had to learn more nuanced communication skills like those in Non-Violent communication..A wonderful compassionate skill set that work for the talker and listener. Sound like you husband time is limited so know it wont go one for ever but you may actually come out better if you learn to negotiate your own needs, while also hearing someone elses fears.
