Firerose has branded herself a 'previvor' after undergoing a double mastectomy following her split from Billy Ray Cyrus.
The surgery comes just three weeks after her marriage from Billy Ray Cyrus officially ended, three months after the country singer originally filed for divorce.
The 63-year-old, who had been married to Firerose - whose real name is Johanna Rose Hodges - for less than a year, said there were 'irreconcilable differences' between the two.
They both accused each other of verbal and emotional abuse, details of which lie within the court documents.

But the documents also stated that Firerose will be walking away from the relationship with $0.
But according to an insider who spoke to the Daily Mail, she isn't too bothered about that prospect.
They said: "She settled for nothing just to be done with him and get away from the situation."

Talking to the Daily Mail, Billy Ray Cyrus released a statement which said: "I'm just very relieved.
"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."

Just weeks later, Firerose has shared with the world that she had a gene which made her more likely to develop certain cancers.
After being diagnosed with the BRCA1 gene, the Australian singer, 35, took it upon herself to have a double mastectomy - which is shown to reduce the risk of developing breast cancer by 95 percent.
She claimed that the original date for the operation was scheduled for May, but had to postpone the surgery after her ex-husband filed for divorce just 24 hours prior.
The performer took to Instagram yesterday (1 September) to let her 177k followers know that she had finally gone ahead with the operation.

She posted a picture of herself in a hospital gown in bed, and used the hashtags '#previvor #brca #brcaawareness'.
A previvor is a term used to describe someone who has an inherited gene mutation, meaning that they have a larger predisposition to being diagnosed with cancer.
Doctors may recommend that they undergo certain treatment before they develop cancer to minimise the risks that are involved.

Despite have a double mastectomy, which is where both breasts are removed, the BRCA1 also means she is more susceptible to developing ovarian cancer.
She captioned the post: "With God on our side we're stronger than we can even imagine.
"Thank you so very much for all the prayers.
"I deeply appreciate the outpouring of love & support."
