Yes, it is probable for a person's future children to inherit this kind of mutation. There is a one in two possibility to inherit this. Cells that are already destroyed permanently by the cancer will divide further even though there is cancer fighting techniques or cocktails induced. The mutation may either be a recessive trait or a major trait depending on the genetic code of the mutation.
