I'm not a nanny, but am a mom and cancer survivor, and am appalled by OP's intrusiveness and self-centeredness. Give this woman some space, and keep yourself to some healthy boundaries. If you are an employer that the nanny feels comfortable confiding in, she'll confide in you. But pushing her is just indecent, insensitive, and, frankly, really rude.[/quote]

Yikes, OP here.  I am trying to give her space and maintain the boundaries that my nanny wants to maintain. I came on this anonymous forum so I can ask OTHER people for insight into what she may be going through, given the limited information I have, what we can expect as she begins treatment, and how I can support her.

She is an absolutely fabulous nanny and is like a member of our family. I want to figure out how we can work through this.  Thanks to all of the PPs who offered some insight.  Nanny let me know that she is seeing an oncologist in 2 weeks, though I don't know if it's to begin treatment or if this is her first referral from her GP.  I hope she feels comfortable telling me more in the weeks ahead, but I'm going to let her go at her own pace as much as necessary. We may need to discuss back-up child care arrangements at some point and obviously that will require more discussion if we get to that place. [/quote]
