The Mature John Wilson

Been an eventful 5 years. My PSA was rising and I got a prostate biopsy and found I had a 4+3 Prostate cancer.

I checked around for what options I had and was not interested in having radiation or chemo and found Dr Scionti in Florida who does what's called Tulsa Pro using high intensity ultrasound. I got that done on November 21st of 2021 and it was essentially painless and went back to work, however things began restricting and my PSA began rising every 3 months and I finally got a PET scan and found that it had spread out into my lymph system. I went to oncology doctors who told me there was very little they could do other than trying to make it more comfortable by giving me Luprine which is a testosterone suppressant to help slow down or stop the cancer growth. They said there were a few side effects... Boy!, they weren't kidding! While it stopped the bladder spasms that I was having and increased my flow, the Hot flashes, aches, pains, tiredness was more than I cared to endure.

I told the oncologist I will find something else that will get rid of the cancer and have been taking Bitter Raw Apricot Seeds which contain B17 and is also known as Laetrile, plus a 500mg Laetrile capsule daily, Indian Black Salve, Zeolite detox and colloidal silver. I'm feeling pretty good now, we'll find out what's happening with a new PSA in August and go from there.... Wish me luck!

My son, Craig is now working in Tucson on helicopters for the border patrol and my grandson, Colton is working here in Hillsboro, Oregon for Intel.

Aside from that I still ride my motorcycle. I'm not working anymore driving the school bus and trying to remember what day of the week it is.

I'm looking forward to driving up for our 60th Reunion!

Since the last reunion, I took up driving school bus for First Student at Tigard School District for 2 years and then went over to Laidlaw in Lake Oswego until it was bought out by First Student. I have driven the same route there for the last 8 years including Kindergarten, Elementary, Middle School, High School and Charters for athletics, skiing, and trips, unfortunately I collected too many personal traffic tickets and am now unfortunately unemployed.

Two summers ago, I decided to transport buses across the country and made 8 trips totaling over 15,000 miles in 6 weeks. I made 2 trips from Macon, GA to Boring, OR, 3 trips to Edmonton, CDA 2 from Chicago and 1 from LA, CA, and 3 from the bay area to Boring, OR.

I tried again last summer with another company, however found it was not worth it unless you towed your return transportation.

I am now looking for something else to keep me busy and supplement my SSI. My brother treated me to a jump out of a plane which took my breath away. My son lives in Tucson and is a supervisor for Skywest Airlines. Colton goes to Westview High School in Portland, OR.

I look forward to seeing you all at the reunion.
