Don't put it off. Get a living will, a regular will, a power of attorney and a healthcare power of attorney. Everyone of you DO IT NOW! I can't emphasize that enough. You can get simple ones all of them for about $200 with an attorney. Two years ago I only thought I was a little sick. I ended up unconscious, intubated, and on a helicopter to a better hospital. Because all my papers were done my parents were able to help me. These are important even if you're married. Please don't delay.
As far as taking your hubbie to appts, I would. He'd probably love to be more up on things and be able to be a part of it. And the more you educate him now, the easier it will be when you truly need his help. And if you're ever hospitalized, it will be nice if the doctor recognizes him and considers him part of your care plan. (I assume you trust hubbie.)
