"Instead of just putting it off because I didn't want to go, and it hurt, and I was scared—No, I just went and did it, and it was there. Cancer's in there, and it's only stage one, and it's curable. So, if I do all the things right, it can be curable or gone. I don't know," Snooki said. "So get your appointments done. I'm telling you."
Snooki then continued in the video to explain what was done during the biopsy and exactly what was found.
"They took a chunk out of my cervix. And they said the margins came back clear, which means the chunk that they took out, that was like the tumor, the cancer that was in there. But then, around it, was clear. So there were no cancer cells on that, which means it didn't go up into the cervix, which is a good thing," She said. "The next thing that I have scheduled is a PET scan... I have to drink this like nasty fluid the day before. And that'll detect if the cancer (has) spread."
Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi Is Aiming To Spread Awareness

"Just making this video to spread awareness to make sure you get your pap smears. And if your doctor calls you to do it again, do it," she said in a different video. "Make sure you're fine and prevent all the bad things that could happen, like cervical cancer."
Fans have provided Snooki with an outpouring of love and support in the comment sections of her videos. They've rallied around her diagnosis with uplifting messages. And in turn, Snooki's message of awareness is being spread far and wide.
Hopefully, the early diagnosis means that she will make a full recovery. Judging by her recent content, she will keep her fans updated every step of the way.
