Husband has stage 3 kidney cancer and he is 53. Unsure if we should have a 2nd.

My son was born this past January. We found out in February that my husband has cancer. He had surgery to remove the kidney and is currently undergoing treatment. While I was pregnant, we both knew we wanted 2 children. Since his diagnosis, we have been less certain about having another one.

I am so positive he is gonna live a long life. I’m worried I’m in denial about it. I just have this feeling that he is gonna make it. He is more concerned about it. The numbers aren’t exactly in his favor; I think it’s something like 50% don’t live past 5 years from their diagnosis. He is also concerned about his age. Has anyone been in a similar situation? Or wwyd in this situation?

Edit: I just want to thank everybody for their input. I think I know the best choice; I just needed to hear it from someone else. I'm reposting this in the kidney cancer group just to hear their perspective.
