Harvey Pekar. He is a comics writer and he and his wife released a graphic novel dealing with it called Our Cancer Year.
Sort of unrelated, but this story reminds me of Our Cancer Year, which was a collaboration between the late Harvey Pekar and his wife and That Dragon, Cancer, about a family's struggle with their dying son.
Anyway, it sounds as though your husband just wants to work with you on a project, which you should keep in mind if you want to bring up a criticism or two. You should probably tell him how you prefer to work on the project and come to a nice middle-ground. Good luck!
