‘Jersey Shore’ Star Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi Diagnosed With Stage 1 Cervical Cancer

Jersey Shore star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi announced Friday she has been diagnosed with stage 1 cervical cancer. The 38-year-old shared the news in a TikTok video after receiving results from a cone biopsy procedure. “Obviously not the news that I was hoping for, but also not the worst news just because they caught it so early. Thank freaking God!” Polizzi said. She revealed struggling with abnormal pap smears for three to four years before the diagnosis. The cancer type is adenocarcinoma, which she emphasized is curable at stage 1. Polizzi urged women to get regular pap smears, saying she previously avoided appointments due to fear and discomfort.
