Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi has an expensive cure for a bad day, and she is unapologetic about it!
The media personality finally revealed how she took her cervical cancer diagnosis and the wild rollercoaster she hopped on afterward to embrace that reality.
Nicole ‘Snooki’ Polizzi, who shared that she was diagnosed with stage one cervical cancer, is set to get a hysterectomy as part of her cancer treatment.
The television queen told US Weekly that she immediately picked up the phone and called her mother to give her the update amid tears, and also began planning her funeral.
Polizzi continued that she was emotional and hysterical for like three days, and then she decided to do something about how she was feeling.
“You’re a bad bitch, you’re going to be fine, you tackle everything. And then I went to Short Hills and spent, like, thousands of dollars,” the star noted. Polizzi continued that she then went into a store to get designer stuff, including Louis Vuitton bags, Gucci shoes, and bags.
The reality star intimated her fans with her condition back in January via a TikTok video where she explained that she has been dealing with pre-cancerous cell growth in her cervix for about three to four years. US Weekly shared that following a biopsy, it was confirmed weeks later that she had stage one cervical cancer.

She continued in her chat with US Weekly that she has summer planned out, and it includes going in for a major surgery, a hysterectomy. Her timing is perfect because that is when her schedule gets less demanding, and she will not be traveling as much.
Currently, the star has been going back and forth from Canada for her show to Nashville and more places for her store, which is why she had to push the appointment well into the summer.
“I wanted to make sure that I had, like, two weeks just to chill, to recover, and do all that. It’s going to be happening soon. I’m definitely nervous. I’m excited just to get it done,” Polizzi declared.
She also raved about getting much-needed support from her father, who had been battling cancer for years, the moment she updated her family about her diagnosis.
Polizzi recalled everyone being there for her, showing her support, and wishing for her speedy recovery both within her circle and even on social media.
