Jersey Shore Family Vacation star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi just revealed a major health update. Understandably, the results of a recent health procedure have left her feeling “terrified.” So now, this MTV icon is using her platform for good. Because if she can help just one woman endure a similarly scary experience, then so be it, she will.
Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi opened up about a recent doctor’s visit
On TikTok, Snookie recently posted a rather emotional “Get Ready With Me” reel. She “wasn’t even thinking about making this video,” she admitted. However, “for [the sake of] awareness,” Snookie decided to go ahead and document her recent health scare.
For years, Snookie’s had abnormal pap smears. So, her physicians recommended further testing via a colonoscopy. Several beats later, the “Results come back,” she explained. “Doctor calls me, and he’s like, ‘Not looking great.’ He found cancerous cells on the top of my cervix.”
Soon, Snookie will undergo an additional cone biopsy, thankfully under anesthesia, for further testing. Naturally, she feels “terrified” about her latest health update. But she remains focused on getting answers. As every woman knows, “cervical cancer is nothing to joke about,” Snookie stressed.
She then urged her female followers to stay on top of their appointments, “because we’re talking [about your] future. If this biopsy comes back not great, then the next step would be a hysterectomy.”
Even thinking about “a hysterectomy” feels “sad” and “scary,” Snookie admitted. As she clarified, “I’m done having kids, but the thought of not being able to have kids, I think that’s what’s killing me. But whatever, whatever to keep me healthy and safe, to be here for my kids that I have now.”
Snookie ended her reel by asking for support in her comments. She wanted to hear from women who have also walked this path, “So we have a community of us who are scared and dealing with this to be there for each other. Because being a woman is not easy, and this is definitely a scary thing.”
Jersey Shore Family Vacation is available to stream on Hulu.
