Barry Du Bois Shares Emotional Journey Through Cancer and Depression
By Jimmy Briggs | Updated: 3 June 2025

Barry Du Bois, the 63-year-old former Living Room host, has opened up about his battle with cancer and depression in a heartfelt essay. Despite his diagnosis of incurable cancer, Barry remains optimistic, crediting his resilience and the support of his wife, Leonie.

A Life of Resilience
In 2017, Barry was diagnosed with plasmacytoid myeloma, a rare immune system cancer. Doctors initially gave him just three months to live. However, he refused to accept this prognosis, drawing strength from past hardships: a 14-meter fall that broke his back and years of IVF struggles with Leonie, which ended in a devastating miscarriage.

Facing Depression Together
Barry’s battle with depression began after Leonie was diagnosed with cervical cancer. He described feeling isolated, but Leonie’s unwavering support helped him find purpose again. “She taught me to focus on what I can control: mindset, nutrition, and connection,” he shared.

Living with Hope
Today, Barry prioritizes positivity and health. In a recent social media post, he shared a photo of a medical glove with the message: “Just because you’re struggling doesn’t mean you’re failing.” His story continues to inspire others to embrace resilience in the face of adversity.

Barry’s journey reminds us that even in the darkest moments, hope and love can light the way.
