The information was shared by the artist herself on Friday, February 20, through a video posted on her TikTok profile (@snooki), in which she updated fans on the results of a recent cone biopsy.
“It turned out to be stage 1 cervical cancer again, called adenocarcinoma,” she said, visibly emotional. “Obviously, it’s not the news I was expecting, but it’s also not the worst news, because they caught it so early. Thank God.” According to her, early detection was crucial for the condition to be considered treatable.
During her account, Polizzi highlighted that she had been dealing with abnormal Pap smear results for three to four years. The influencer used the moment to reinforce the importance of routine gynecological exams. “I’m 38 years old and I’ve been dealing with abnormal results for three or four years, and now look at me. Instead of putting it off because I was scared, I just went and got it done. And it was there. But it’s stage 1 and it’s curable,” she stated.
The artist also said she will be referred to an oncologist and will undergo a PET scan to check whether the disease has spread to other parts of the body.
