“I’m terrified,” she added. “It’s scary, but we have to get it done because cervical cancer is nothing to joke about."

Next Steps For Snooki
The self-proclaimed Princess of Poughkeepsie, who grew up in Marlboro, says she's scheduled to undergo a cone biopsy to determine the extent of the cells.
If further results are abnormal, she may require a hysterectomy.
“Obviously I’m done having kids but, as a woman, the thought of getting a hysterectomy is just sad and scary,” Snooki said in her TikTok. "“Getting the hysterectomy and then not being able to have kids, I think that’s what’s killing me.”
Encourages Others To Be On Top Of Medical Appointments
The 38-year-old encouraged other women to stay on top of their medical appointments.
She admitted she delayed some of routine checkups out of fear. She's now her platform to urge women to stay on top of their health screenings and Pap smears.
