“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.”

Glad she set the record straight. Wishing her the best.
Restores some of my faith in humanity that NBC has been willing to help her work through this. Best wishes.
She’s an amazing actress and I’m sure an incredible person.
I hope everything goes well <3
Maura, i’ve liked you since NewsRadio. Best wishes!!!!!
Maura, you are a very talented actress. I wish you a speedy recovery. I will keep you and your family in my prayers.
Wishing you all the best, Maura.
It’s really angering that someone who is going through something like that has to “set the record straight.” It’s so none of our business unless it was her wish. It seems like she got pushed into making a statement.
Sending happy thoughts your way, Maura! We’ll be here when you get back!
You will be in my thoughts and prayers, don’t rush back to soon your health is FIRST priority.
Absolutely love her. I wouldn’t have any desire to see Parenthood, but her partciipation makes it a must-see. Hope the surgery and follow-up go well!
Health always comes first. I wish you a speedy recovery.
She’s the most amazing actress and person I’ve ever seen and I really hope she’s getting well soon… send my love <3
I’ve been a huge fan since NewsRadio. Sending positive thoughts!
I love you Maura! Keep smiling!
Stay strong Maura! I’ve gone through the exact same surgery twice, and both times it was benign. Either way, you’ll get through it stronger on the other side.
