But also not the worst news, just because they caught it so early.<\/p>\n<p>\n\u201cThat\u2019s why I\u2019m literally telling you guys to get your Pap smears done. I\u2019m 38 years old. I\u2019ve been struggling with abnormal Pap smears for like, three, four years now. And now look at me, and instead of just, like, putting it off because I didn\u2019t want to go, and it hurt and I was scared, no, I just went and did it, [and] cancer\u2019s in there, and it\u2019s only stage I and it\u2019s curable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nSnooki \u2013 who has children Lorenzo, 13, Giovanna, 11, and Angelo, six, with husband Jionni LaValle &#8211; revealed she first had a colposcopy, which \u201ctook a chunk out of [her] cervix\u201d, followed by a cone biopsy.<\/p>\n<p>\nWhile cancer was found, Snooki was relieved to discover that it had not spread beyond the cervix.<\/p>\n<p>\nWhile doctors have scheduled a PET scan to check for signs of cancer elsewhere in her body, Snooki is looking ahead to treatment for her cervical cancer and is considering a hysterectomy, a surgical procedure to remove the uterus.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe explained: \u201cAfter that, I\u2019m going to 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\u2019ll still keep my ovaries, which is a good sign, but the hysterectomy, got to get the cervix in, the uterus out and then possibly lymph nodes, because it can [spread there]. So I guess it all depends on the PET scan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\nAnd Snooki is determined to look on the bright side.<\/p>\n<p>\nShe told her fans: \u201cCould be very much worse.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- Pagination --><\/p>\n<p><!-- playbuzz --><br \/>\n<!-- end playbuzz--><\/p>\n<p><!-- \n\n<div data-cn-project=\"femalefirst\">\n    \n<\/div>\n\n --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n<!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<p>    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><br \/>\n    <!-- Outbrain { date: 2018\/06\/08 } --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.femalefirst.co.uk\/celebrity\/nicole-snooki-polizzi-diagnosed-cervical-cancer-1438023.html?f=rss\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>20 February 2026 Nicole &#8216;Snooki&#8217; Polizzi has been diagnosed with stage one cervical cancer.
