Lavigne made the decision to publicly share her struggle with Lyme disease — spread by infected ticks — in a bid to raise awareness, and she has maintained a positive attitude throughout, so it should really come as no surprise that her latest posts echo that sentiment.

Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, Lavigne shared a picture of herself on a hospital check-up bed while her doctor examined her. She captioned the post with, “Overcoming Lyme Disease. Feels good to have my Dr. smile and tell me how much progress I am making. I’m coming out on the other side batches!!! [sic] #Fighter #F**LymeDisease.”

Lavigne then followed up the image with a second one, which shows her in good spirits with a massive smile on her face, but it was the simple caption that was most inspiring and a true testament to her fighting spirit. She wrote, “FIGHT and CONQUER !!!!!!!!!”
