One of the former stars of ER, Maura Tierney will undergo surgery to remove a tumor from her breast. Maura is slated to premiere on a new NBC show Parenthood this fall. NBC released a statement delaying the premiere of the show.
“In an effort to guard my privacy, it seems that the wording of NBC’s press release has unfortunately caused some confusion and undue alarm about my health,” “I have discovered a tumor in my breast which requires surgery. I will not know either my exact diagnosis or course of treatment until that surgery is performed. My doctors have all assured me this is a very treatable condition,” the statement read. “I’m very optimistic as to the outcome and want to thank everyone who has sent positive thoughts and support. I look forward to going back to work soon.”
Our thoughts are with Maura as she undergoes this surgery.
