I have a son who is getting treated for acute lymphoblastic leukemia. i want to plan for a second child but am afraid if he also gets the same ?????

ALL in sibling: There is an increased risk of a sibling developing ALL. I would discuss everything with a geneticist and allow them to give you specific numbers. Also, the positive side is that a sibling creates a close possible bone marrow (stem cell) match. Be sure if you do go ahead with a second pregnancy, to harvest stem cells.
