Genetic counseling

When i was at St Judes in Jan. having some tests ran they had made an appointment for me to meet with a genetic counselor. She told us that since my cancer was bilateral (on both kidneys) it could be genetically passed to my children. It was not genetically passed to me. We asked about the chances of this, she said there was a small chance, not big enough to worry and no reason not to have children. She said that when we had children that we didn't have to rush out and have ultrasounds done on them but to tell their pediatrician and to be just be aware. Little did we know we would get pregnant 2 weeks later!
