What you, I think need to consider first, is, what if your health took a turn for the worse? Maybe first, ask the doctors what would happen if you were pregnant, and got sick? Maybe wait until you have beaten cancer then have children in a healthy body?
I know a woman who was pregnant with twins, and she was then diagnosed with cancer. She couldn't have treatment because it would kill her children, and two months after having them, she died, it was too late to save her.
I wouldn't want the same for you.
I don't know what kind of cancer you have, if the only treatment available, let's say if you have ovarian or cervical cancer or something like that, there are options available, like if it's cervical cancer, and it's small enough, I've heard that you can do a cone removal, they take the cancer out in the shape of a cone, and then sew the rest of your cervix back together. This allows you to have children, with putting the pregnancy at a higher risk because your cervix may become incompetent, but you'll be watched carefully. Ovarian cancer, ask about having some eggs frozen, just like sperm, and wait until you're better, all in the clear, then have in vitro.
If it's like, uterine cancer, that's a different story, what about a surrogate partner? Like a cousin or sister, someone close in your family who can understand and would like to help?
I'm just trying to let you know the many options available, I don't want you to push for kids now, while you haven't been told you're okay enough, I mean, just being diagnosed with cancer, there are a LOT of things that are going to happen to you to make sure you come out okay.
If your husband says to have kids now, discuss with him the many options available, ( again, me not know the type of cancer), and come up with a decision together. If then, he still says to go for it. Go for it. And work it all out together as a family.
