Q: My husband is 36 years old. He is suffering from CML and has just started on Glivec. We have one child, but we are planning for a second child. Is it possible for us to have another child or are the chances slim?

A:It is better not to conceive while your husband is on treatment. Wait for three months after completion of the treatment before trying for a baby.
