ER star, Maura Tierney is going to to be receiving treatment for her breast cancer that was discovered in July.  Unfortunately this means that she will no longer be on  NBC’s Parenthood due to the fact that her treatment and the show’s schedule conflict.

“Maura Tierney regrets that she will not be able to continue her role on Parenthood due to a conflict with the production schedule of the show and her breast cancer treatments,” her spokesperson said in a statement. “Ms. Tierney and her doctors remain confident that the outcome of her treatments will be positive. She is deeply disappointed that she will not be able to rejoin such a highly respected, talented, fun and funny group of actors and wishes to thank Jason Katims and NBC for their patience and support.”

NBC said their “thoughts and best wishes” were with her.

“While we are saddened that Maura Tierney won’t be able to continue in her current role in Parenthood, our main concern is for her quick and full recovery,” the network said.

I hope and pray Maura will have a a speedy treatment that gives her perfect health.  Thankfully they discovered the cancer early, so I have great confidence that Maura will be back and better than ever before we know it.  Meanwhile we are pulling for you!!
