End the relationship. Her cancer doesn't change the fact that he's a negative in your life. You can't help ( and it sounds like he needs that, not a relationship) someone who's hurting you.

End it.

Do not stay with him out of pity, trust me you will regret it later. Tell him you're there for him (if you will be), let him know you're truly sorry about hearing that, but be strong in your resolve.

Are you sure he didn't know what you were up to before he told you all that?

If you can't do it anymore then just break up with him.

That's what my ex did when I needed her the most, I'm still here and fine.

I would be extremely careful he could using it as emotional blackmail to guilt trip you into staying with him.

That doesn't change the fact the relationship isn't working for you. End it
