We reported earlier that production on “Parenthood” had been delayed because actress Maura Tierney was undergoing a “medical evaluation.” Apparently, the way NBC worded this caused rumors and speculation to fly, so Maura Tierney is setting the record straight with a health update statement.

Maura Tierney writes, “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. 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.”

Here’s hoping the very best for Maura Tierney!
