Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi announced in a Sept. 19 Instagram video that she is officially cancer-free. The good news comes after the “Jersey Shore” star told fans in February that she was diagnosed with Stage 1 cervical cancer, undergoing a hysterectomy months later to treat the disease.
\n\n“After a colposcopy, conization & hysterectomy, mawma is cancer free,” Polizzi, 38, wrote in some text that accompanied a video of the reality star, enjoying a celebratory drink.
\n\nA colposcopy is a procedure that checks the cervix, vagina and vulva for signs of disease while conization refers to a different procedure in which abnormal tissue is removed from the cervix.
\n\nThe announcement received an outpouring of support, including positive messages from fellow “Jersey Shore” cast mates Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino and Sammi “Sweetheart” Giancola.
\n\nOther social media users, who have also gone through cervical cancer, shared their excitement for Polizzi.
\n\n“I’m so happy for you and your family 🥹♥️ I know the struggle you have been through 🥹♥️I got diagnosed with cervix cancer in 2022 and went through chemo and radiation therapy, I’m cancer free now ♥️LOVE from Denmark ♥️” one user wrote.
\n\nIn her post, Polizzi showed her appreciation for her medical team.
