A brave young Scottish woman who 'thought she was going to die', has celebrated beating cancer from behind the wheel of a luxury motor. Erin Lavery shared her big news that she had overcome her fight with stage 3 Hodgkin's lymphoma in style. The 22-year-old, who had been documenting her harrowing cancer journey online, posted a video sitting in the drivers chair of a slick Porsche convertible on a country road, reports the Daily Record. The beautician can be seen holding up a sign that reads 'I'm cancer free', whilst pointing and smiling to the camera before she zooms off along a single track road with her hand thrown in the air. As the car speeds off, the German supercar's registration plate reads 'FCK CANCER'.

Erin captioned the video 'The final update :) Thank you for all your support couldn't of done it without yous xxx'. People flocked to the comments section to offer their congratulations and support. Holly May Lavery wrote: 'I'm crying so so incredible and can't wait to see what you get up to now!! You are a true inspiration Erin, sending you lots of love gorgeous.' Lauren Clark added: This is the best news EVER!!!!!! I am so unbelievably happy for you and proud of you Erin.' Erin also shared a video of the emotional moment she ran the bell at the Beatson Hospital. The heart-warming clip showed her hugging her family before being congratulated by teary eyed doctors and nurses at the Glasgow cancer care unit. Erin can be seen reading aloud the message on the wall next to the symbolic bell. She then rings the bell three times as staff cheer her on. Her parents and two sisters then ring the bell with her before they huddle together. Erin wrote: 'A day we've all been dreaming of only right my family got to ring it with me. I love you all thank you for everything.' The momentous moment comes just weeks after Erin shared her terrifying treatment ordeal admitting she 'thought she was going to die', as her body struggled to cope with brutal rounds of chemotherapy. Erin was blue-lighted to hospital on numerous occasions after her immune system crashed and she became ravaged by deadly infections. She told how the Beatson became like a second home as she was forced to stay in for weeks at a time to recover in between six long cycles of treatment. Erin previously said: 'I thought I was going to die. One minute I was out in the garden making a TikTok video the next I was in an ambulance.' She added: 'I dread to think where I would be without the Beatson. They have been a comfort blanket throughout the most horrific ordeal. When you start chemotherapy you are told what to expect but nothing prepares you for it. A month into her treatment Erin bravely opened up to the Record about her fight to be diagnosed. She told how a cough and a lump in her neck developed over months as she begged GPs for a hospital referral. She started posting her cancer journey on social media to raise awareness and encourage other people to keep pushing for answers and not dismiss symptoms. Erin also raised over £13,000 for the Little Princess Trust by donating her hair. She said: 'I now feel it's important for me to use my voice and tell others that if you know there's something not right, listen to your body. If I hadn't pushed, I would still be sitting at home right now.' Join Edinburgh Live's Whatsapp Community here and get the latest news sent straight to your messages

Daniel, a Deputy Head Teacher in Glasgow, has opened up about their experience in a raw blog titled 'Cancer Dad' where he shares his personal stories and insights as a parent navigating his daughter's illness. The 52-year-old told the Record: "It was quite difficult to navigate my own emotions as well as remaining positive for Erin. The reason I started writing was self-preservation. "At the very start, it's difficult to talk about the diagnosis. You speak with close family, but you've got so many different emotions. The easiest way for me to let my feelings out and deal with it was just to write it down."
