"It's time to get your affairs in order," was not what 31 year old Casey Head wanted or expected to hear from her doctor.  She had just been diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia, known as a children's cancer.  Four months into treatment Casey suffered a stroke and went into a short coma.  Temporarily paralyzed on her left side, Casey would have to dedicate hours of rehab work while she went through chemo.  Incredibly, she would beat cancer but it would return not once but two more times!  Follow Casey on Instagram or you can learn more about her at her website.
