Summary
Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, 38, said in an Instagram video that doctors removed her uterus, cervix, fallopian tubes and part of her vagina in surgery aimed at clearing her cervical cancer.
Six months after her February Stage 1 diagnosis, Polizzi described intense anxiety before the operation and said she is now managing significant post-surgical pain while trying to stay positive.
Doctors kept her ovaries to avoid pre-menopause, and Polizzi said they also treated diastasis recti linked to her three pregnancies during the procedure.
Polizzi said she shared the experience to help other women facing similar surgeries, urging followers to get Pap smears and saying she hopes to be cancer-free.
