Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi has revealed she will undergo a hysterectomy after being diagnosed with stage 1 cervical cancer, opening up about the emotional and physical toll of the experience.
The 38-year-old reality TV personality said she initially struggled to process the diagnosis. "I had a breakdown," she shared, recalling how she "called my mom hysterically crying, thinking the worst."
After further medical tests, doctors confirmed the cancer had not spread, and surgery is expected to fully treat it. While relieved by the prognosis, Polizzi admitted the upcoming procedure is daunting.
"I'm not great with pain, so thinking about removing an organ is scary," she said. "That's a part of being a woman and even though I'm done having kids, the thought of not being able to really upset me. It messes with you a little bit."
