I'm having a hard time understanding how to answer this question

Suppose a person developed a mutation in a somatic cell which diminishes the body's natural cell cycle control proteins. This mutation resulted in cancer, but was effectively treated by way of a number of cancer-fighting techniques. Is it possible for this person's future children to inherit this cancer causing mutation?  Be specific when you explain why or why not.
