Re: Maura Tierney (Abby from ER) breast cancer

I had heard she had discovered a lump and was slated for surgery, but have not heard anything further. BC is not respecter of position.

Re: Maura Tierney (Abby from ER) breast cancer

In early July, her publicists announced the start of her series, Parenthood, would be delayed to midseason due to an "undisclosed illness." The most recent info says she is dropping out of the show to continue bc tx:http://www.afterellen.com/blog/dorot...ncer-treatment
