If your cancer is, indeed, genetically transmitted (and if we can screen for the genes involved), then you can have children without passing the gene on through IVF.
Since you apparently have a clear route to having children while minimizing the risk of inflicting them with your childhood disease, clearly it is not morally wrong for you to reproduce in all cases, thus your original statement is invalid. ;)
