Former ER actress Maura Tierney has clarified her health status following reports that new NBC drama Parenthood has been pushed back from its filming date of July 27th.
Tierney, 44, has revealed that she has found a tumor in her breast.
“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,” she told Usmagazine.
“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.
“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.”
Parenthood, is a series spin-off from the Ron Howard comedy, also starring Craig T. Nelson, Bonnie Bedelia and Peter Krause.
No air date has been set.

Best wishes; she was a classic in NewsRadio.
Lovely actress. She was so gorgeous in Liar Liar. Best wishes.
Sending my best wishes out to the universal energy as well, liked a fair bit of the work Maura has done in film and TV, from NewsRadio to ER (she was great as Jim Carrey’s Wife in Liar Liar as well).
Best wishes to Maura, hopefully she will get the all clear after surgery. I loved her in ER and look forward to seeing Parenthood.
