This is a possible summary:
The video tells the story of Katie, a young woman who was diagnosed with a rare and aggressive kidney cancer that spread to her liver. She had symptoms such as high blood pressure, rapid heart rate, headaches, abdominal pain and weight loss, but was initially dismissed as having anxiety or menstrual cramps. She underwent several tests and scans before doctors confirmed she had metastatic oncocytoma, a type of tumor that is usually benign and does not spread. She was treated with a medicine that shrunk her tumors and made her eligible for surgery. She had her right kidney and liver tumors removed successfully and recovered from the operation. She is now a survivor and an advocate for other patients with similar cancers.
Here are the key facts extracted from the text:
1. Casey, a 28-year-old woman, presented to the emergency room with a three-day-long headache.
2. She had been experiencing massive abdominal cramps for six months, which doctors initially attributed to her period.

10. The tumors were identified as oncocytomas, a type of benign kidney cancer.
11. However, Casey's liver tumors were found to be metastatic oncocytomas, which is rare and not documented in medical literature.
12. Doctors biopsied her liver, which caused a bleed due to her liver's high vascularity.
13. Casey was diagnosed with a bleeding disorder, which was not previously known.
14. She was started on a two-medicine combination to shrink her tumors and prevent further spread.
15. Casey sought a second opinion at another cancer center, where doctors confirmed her diagnosis and suggested a different treatment plan.
16. She was started on a new medicine, which shrank her tumors and made her eligible for surgery.
17. However, the hospital didn't have enough blood for the surgery due to the global health situation in 2021.

19. Casey's right kidney and visible liver tumors were removed in a six-hour operation.
20. After the surgery, her blood pressure returned to normal, and her symptoms resolved.
21. Casey is a metastatic oncocytoma survivor and the founder of the Chromophobe and Oncocytic Tumor Alliance (COA).
