Now that several months have passed, Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi opens up about her cancer diagnosis, admitting, she started “planning her own funeral.” Snooki publicly shared her Stage 1 cervical cancer diagnosis last February. She underwent a cone biopsy the month prior, following four years of abnormal Pap smears. This is where the Jersey Shore Family Vacation star learned that she had Stage 1 cervical adenocarcinoma. As Snooki just admitted to her pal Kristin Cavallari, this journey has been nothing short of “terrifying.”
The Jersey Shore star has been vocal about her health issues
When Snooki learned about her cancer diagnosis, she had so many questions. However, she also felt alienated from her peers. So, she went on TikTok, asking to hear from other women who have also walked this path. And then, Snookie appeared on the Let’s Be Honest with Kristin Cavallari podcast, where she opened up even more about her “terrifying” Stage I cervical cancer diagnosis.
At first, Snooki confessed, “I definitely had a breakdown. Like, ‘Oh my God. What am I gonna do? I gotta get my will in place. What is going to happen?’ Planning my funeral. I was being so dramatic.”
“But then,” she continued, “I did research, and I was like, this is so common for women, and no one really talks about it. And I’m gonna be okay, because there are things I have to do and I’ll be fine.” Thankfully, Snooki said, “Stage I is the best-case scenario. I just have to get a hysterectomy, and then I have to watch it for the rest of my life.”
Snooki is getting a hysterectomy “probably this summer,” she explained. She feels “terrified” of this procedure. But she remains excited for everything that lies ahead, including filming. “We’re just trying to figure out the next step,” she noted, since MTV announced last March that Season 9 would be the last season Jersey Shore airs on their network.
Jersey Shore Family Vacation is available to stream on Hulu.
