Snooki's Cancer Journey: Early Detection & Hope

0:00On April 23rd, Jersey Shore star Nicole Palizzi, better known as Snooki, just turned 38, and she's facing stage one cervical cancer. She's gearing up for her hysterectomy soon, calling the whole thing scary as she shares her story with fans. Back in February, she got the diagnosis after years of abnormal pap smear results. Doctors wanted her back every six months, but she skipped checkups for about a year and a half because they felt so uncomfortable.
