Billy Ray Cyrus' ex wife Firerose undergoes cancer preventative surgery - after country singer's divorce filing forced her to reschedule operation

Firerose has undergone a double mastectomy to prevent breast cancer after being diagnosed with the BRCA1 gene which makes her more likely to develop 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. 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. '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.'
