We are committed to each other.I am scared that its genetic, so hows severe or 1%can the kids inherit the disease?I am worry, that I might not enjoy my motherhood if we get kids. And for how long will my boyfriend lives from now on (life expectancy)?
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Yes, you are right about leukemia inheritance. Leukemia s are inherited in nature.  The possibility of inheritance is depending on type of leukemia. B cell leukemia have high inheritance then T cell leukemia. So please reply me the type of leukemia he is having. And with modern medicine, prognosis of leukemia s are good. Life expectancy is usually up to 40-50 years if regular follow up with oncologist is done. And inheritance in child is up to 5%.
