Snooki has a sad update about her health.
Last month, Nicole Polizzi broke down in tears, revealing her doctor found cancerous cells in her cervix and that she had to undergo further testing. She is now sharing the results of her cone biopsy — she has stage 1 cervical cancer! Oh no! The Jersey Shore star explained in a video posted to TikTok on Friday:
“It came back stage 1 cervical cancer called adenocarcinoma. Obviously not the news I’ve been hoping for, but also not the worst news just because they caught it so early. Thank freaking God!”

We’re so glad they found it early! Snooki went on to encourage all women to get their routine pap smears done before it is too late:
“I’m 38 years old, and I’ve been struggling with abnormal pap smears for three or four years now, and now look at me. Instead of putting it off because I didn’t want to go, because I was hurt and scared, I just went and did it. And it was there, cancer is in there. But it’s stage 1, and it’s curable. So get your appointments done, b**ches! I’m telling you! Once you go to stage 2, then you have to do chemo… nobody wants to do that! It’s scary. So get your appointments done.”
The MTV personality said she will be transferred to an oncologist and undergo a PET scan to see if the cancer has spread anywhere else in her body. And then she will likely get a hysterectomy:
“After that, I’m gonna probably get the hysterectomy, because the oncologist said you can either do chemo, radiation, or the hysterectomy. Obviously, I think the smart choice here is the hysterectomy. I’ll still keep my ovaries, which is a good sign. But yeah, gotta get the cervix and uterus out. It all depends on the PET scan. So 2026 is not panning out how I wanted it to. But also, it could be worse.”
And this is why early detection is so important! It really could’ve been a lot worse! Snooki stressed that cervical cancer is “very common” in women and asked others who are going through a similar experience to reach out to her on social media, adding:
“A lot of women go through it silently without anyone to talk to, and they’re scared by themselves. And that was me until I decided to upload the video about what was happening with me. I like that we have a platform here to talk about it with each other. I appreciate all of the love. Everything’s going to be fine. I’m going to tackle this and get it done. I gotta keep attacking this, and everything’s gonna be great.”
