Three things:
1. I can symptathize with your feeling betrayed in that he specifically agreed to something you asked of him and then it turns out that he is interested in doing something else. That part isn't that cool, especially in context with what you claim he's done 3-5 times before.
2. If your group and you want to still play the game, I don't really see the problem in his asking. Maybe he IS an entirely unreasonable person (in which it was probably not a great decision to ask him to take over, especially if he's done this 3-5 times before). However, if the group wants your original game and that's what he agreed to do, there's no harm in asking if they still want to do it (barring your own playing, which complicates things and magnifies the importance of his promise) SO LONG as if they say they want your campaign, he obliges.
3. I suspect (and this is shooting from the hip) that your own emotions are probably running pretty high in part because: a) you wish you could still be running this, b) you feel resentful of any medical issues preventing you from doing so, c) you might feel guilty for leaving the group with an unsuitable replacement, and d) just in general, having medical problems and having to deal with them involves a lot of extra time and stress.
So, is what he's done so far unreasonable? The only thing possibly is if you expect that the group would like to allow you play after those 2 hours. If so, then he's basically promised to take over your game in system and run that for you, it's poor form to run something else....sorta dm-hijacking. Other than that, all he's done SO FAR is to poll the group about interest in a game you might not play in. Now, past history may indicate that he's likely to do some other negative things in the future, but should the group say "no, we just want to play Treebore's game" and he does that with diligence, then he's totally fine, in my opinion.
Take care of yourself, and try to put the whole thing into context. Your group loves/loved your campaign...one person so much he's playing in a system he doesn't care for. You've got a good legacy even if it ends here.
