Pop star Avril Lavigne finally has something to smile about in her year-long battle with Lyme disease.
Doctors have told the singer she's on her way to "good health".
The 30-year-old Canadian singer took to Instagram on Tuesday to update fans about her progress during a visit to the doctor.
Posting a photo of her arm and 13 vials of blood, she wrote, "On my way to good health #TakingCareOfMyself #F***LymeDisease," she wrote.
She then added a shot of herself smiling as she rested on a treatment chair, and added the caption, "This journey continues ... Just reach up, don't give up until you've touch (sic) the sky ... We were all meant to fly..."
The inspiring caption included lyrics from her song Fly, which she recorded for the Special Olympics organisation and performed at the World Games in July.
