You've been with him a while now, so he's gone through a lot of your ups and downs with you. He might just surprise you and be quite relieved that they've finally found a reason for your difficulties and that it can be treated. If you're thinking that this relationship is for the long term, then he needs to be told. I would definitely focus on the fact that it is treatable.
