Summers in your early teens are supposed to be about hanging out with friends, riding bikes, playing sports and going to places like Cedar Point or Six Flags with your family. Clarkston 14-year-old Nolan Crockett will spend his summer fighting Ewing Sarcoma, a rare bone tumor that accounts for approximately 2% of all U.S. childhood cancer diagnoses.
“Everything happened really fast,” said Nolan’s mother, Dione, a Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan (BCBSM) member. “Nolan started noticing symptoms in the beginning of May.”
Nolan’s symptoms included a nagging cough and unusual fatigue. He eventually missed a few days of school and suggested visiting a doctor. The day after Mother’s Day is when the Crockett’s family nightmare began.
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, a nonprofit mutual insurance company, is an independent licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association. BCBSM provides and administers health benefits to more than 4.4 million members residing in Michigan in addition to employees of Michigan-headquartered companies who reside outside the state.
