Firerose in most cancers preventative surgical procedure after Billy Ray Cyrus divorce

Firerose has undergone a double mastectomy to prevent breast cancer. 

The operation comes after the Australian singer, 35, was diagnosed with the BRCA1 gene that makes her more likely to develop the disease.

Firerose, whose real name is Johanna Rose Hodges, previously claimed she was forced to postpone the surgery, which was scheduled for May, when ex Billy Ray Cyrus filed for divorce just 24 hours before she was due to go under the knife. 

But now the pop music performer has taken to Instagram with an image of herself lying in a hospital bed, with the caption including the hashtags ‘#previvor #brca #brcaawareness’.

Previvor is a term used to describe someone who is a survivor of a predisposition to cancer and typically includes someone who has a higher risk of developing the disease. 

Firerose has previously been diagnosed with the BRCA1 gene, a mutation which makes her more susceptible to developing breast and ovarian cancer and was recommended in March by her doctor to receive a double mastectomy. 

In the image she shared to her socials, Firerose could be seen lying in a hospital bed before surgery wearing a hospital gown and simple black tank top.  

‘With God on our side we’re stronger than we can even imagine,’ she wrote in the caption.

‘Thank you so very much for all the prayers. I deeply appreciate the outpouring of love & support.’

Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Firerose for comment. 

It comes just a few weeks after Firerose and Billy Ray’s marriage finally came to an end three months after the country singer, 63, filed for divorce from his wife of less than a year, citing ‘irreconcilable differences’.  

After an increasingly bitter and public break up, during which each accused the other of verbal and emotional abuse, court documents signed earlier this month and obtained exclusively by DailyMail.com showed that Firerose walked away with $0.

But according to a source, that’s fine by her. ‘She settled for nothing just to be done with him and get away from the situation,’ the insider told DailyMail.com exclusively.

For the most part the divorce agreement sees each party walk away from the brief marriage with what they brought to it in the first place.

However, the terms of the divorce agreement show that Billy Ray has agreed to hand over any claims he has to credits or royalties on songs that the couple wrote or published together before and during their union. 

Billy Ray’s May 22, 2024 divorce filing came just days before Firerose was due to have a double mastectomy following her diagnosis with the BRCA gene meaning she is more likely to contract certain cancers.

During the increasingly contentious divorce Billy Ray appeared to cast doubt on the truth of this claim by subpoenaing her medical records. 

A source said at the time: ‘If this went to trial, Firerose and her team would have provided a significant amount of evidence to prove he fabricated a narrative that would benefit his public image.

‘There is no doubt she would have been awarded the divorce, but it was much more important to her that this continuous smear campaign end, and the emotional turmoil stop so she can close the door on this chapter and recover from her surgery peacefully.’

Billy Ray saw things differently, claiming Firerose had only married him to get the last name Cyrus. He said she changed her name from Hodges – her first husband’s last name – just several weeks ago. 

‘I’m just very relieved,’ Billy Ray said in a statement to DailyMail.com.

‘It’s unfortunate it played out this way. Not only was it a web of lies that put me in physical danger, it was a matter of the heart. 

‘Love is blind – that’s for sure,’ he added.
