*Our son Sam is a wonderful young man who is 8 years old. He will be 9 In

January. He is going into the 3rd grade in Reynoldsburg, Ohio. Sam had been

having some pain in his right knee most of this summer (2009). As the pain

increased we realized that something might be wrong and we Made an

appointment for him to see an Orthopedist on 8/10/09.

At this Doctors appointment an X-ray was taken of Sam's leg/knee and it

showed There was a mass that the doctor believed to be cancerous.

went Into the hospital just a few days later for a series of tests. He

Received a CAT scan, MRI, and also a full body scan. Our family met with the

pediatric oncologist the following day and was diagnosed with a type

of cancer called Osteosarcoma (stage 4). The cancer is in his right knee and

it has also spread to both of his lungs. This is an aggressive type of

cancer and it will be treated with aggressive forms of chemo. We are asking

everyone to please lift up our little boy Gordon Bish in prayer. We

pray for healing!! We serve a mighty God and we know that HE can heal Sam if

that is his will for Sam's life. Please be prayer warriors along with our

family as Sam starts this very Difficult journey in his young life.

Today's date is August 16, 2009, and all this has happened in 6 days. His

first appointment was on Monday the 10th and by Friday the 14th he was in

the hospital getting his chemo-port put in his chest and a biopsy done.

I figured if an animated woman walking around the world for cancer can get

passed to millions, then so can this story.

PLEASE KEEP THIS GOING TO YOUR CONTACTS IN YOUR ADDRESS BOOK!

SAM CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH PRAYERS.

WE PRAY FOR HEALING AND PEACE FOR HIS FAMILY. (There are also two Younger

sisters.)
