Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi Shares Doctors Found Cancerous Cells in Cervix

by

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi is facing a scary health journey.  

The former star of Jersey Shore recently revealed she has cervical cancer. After years of getting unusual Pap test results and having doctors monitor her closely, further tests – a colposcopy and biopsy – confirmed the diagnosis.

She explained in a TikTok video posted on January 21st that her doctor called with concerning test results. He found cancerous cells on her cervix, and the news wasn’t good.

Polizzi shared that she needs another cone biopsy, which will require anesthesia, to get more information about her health. While she’s understandably scared, she’s determined to find out what’s going on.

She admitted it was frightening, but stressed the importance of completing the task, explaining that cervical cancer is a serious issue.

Polizzi decided to share her experience because she originally delayed making appointments due to feeling stressed.

This video is a reminder to keep up with scheduled medical appointments. I’m discussing what happens next if a recent biopsy isn’t good – it could mean needing a hysterectomy.

Although Snooki Polizzi, who has three children with her husband Jionni LaValle, says she doesn’t plan on having any more kids, she still got emotional when discussing the possibility of getting a procedure to prevent future pregnancies.

She described the idea of a hysterectomy as both sad and frightening. While she’s finished having children, she’s deeply upset by the loss of that possibility. Ultimately, she prioritizes her health and being there for the children she already has.

The reality TV star also sought out advice and comfort from her followers. 

I’m really hoping to connect with other moms who have gone through this and understand what it’s like. I’d love it if those of you who’ve been there could share your experiences in the comments. It would be so comforting to have a support system of women who get it, because let’s be real, being a woman is hard enough, and this is truly frightening. I know I’ll be okay, but it’s just… scary to face this alone.

Polizzi’s video quickly gained supportive comments not only from her fans, but also from her friends and family who sent well wishes.

It was so heartwarming to see the support flooding in! Sammi, or ‘Sweetheart’ as we all know her, sent the sweetest message saying ‘Love you! You got this,’ and Jenni echoed those loving vibes. Deena, always a rock, let me know we all have each other’s backs, which meant the world.
