“Jersey Shore” star Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi shared a hopeful update after her recent cancer scare.
The reality star took followers along as she underwent a cone biopsy after doctors discovered “cancerous cells” in her cervix.
“I’m very terrified…Losing sleep because I do have my procedure to do my cone biopsy this weekend,” she said in a video shared via TikTok on February 6. “I’m terrified, but it’s going to be fine. Everything is going to be fine. I just want to say thank you, guys. To everyone that reached out and told me about your experience and everything, it really made me feel better.”
She ultimately called the procedure a “piece of cake.”
Snooki Revealed Her Cancer Scare
The “Jersey Shore” star first opened up about her health scare during a January TikTok video.
“It’s not easy being a woman, especially when it comes to appointments and going through these uncomfortable appointments and situations,” she began in a video shared via TikTok on Thursday, January 21. “I’ve been having issues with getting abnormal results, precancerous cells in your cervix. I’ve been dealing with this for probably three or four years now, just making sure that there’s nothing that will escalate to cervical cancer.”
Doctors discovered “cancerous cells in the top of [her] cervix” after undergoing a colposcopy, Snooki explained. She was then instructed to have her cone biopsy.
“It’s scary, but we have to get it done because cervical cancer is nothing to joke about. And I obviously do not want to get this,” she said of her scheduled biopsy.
Snooki explained that if the cone biopsy results are unfavorable, a hysterectomy would be her next step.
Snooki Shares Update Following Cone Biopsy
Snooki shared a follow-up video informing her followers that she is doing well after her procedure.
“A little update on my procedure I did a couple of days ago…Everything is fine, guys. Everything is great,” the “Jersey Shore: Family Vacation” star said, before encouraging women to stay on top of their appointments.
Polizzi explained that her symptoms included cramping and pressure, but over-the-counter pain medication was enough to soothe her.
Fans and Friends Send Their Support
Snooki’s comment section was flooded with comments from fans and friends showing their support.
“I love you so much 😘” Jenni Farley wrote.
“Floribama Shore” star Nilsa Prowant added, “Prayers sister love you.”
As fans turned to Snooki for support amid their own upcoming cone biopsies, the reality star responded, “I promise you it’s quick and you’ll be totally fine- coming from the biggest baby there is!”
