Summary
Details

Faced with the recurrence of his incurable cancer, the building and design expert from Channel 10's The Living Room, Barry Du Bois, leaves nothing to chance as he embraces a do-or-die treatment to extend his time with his precious young children and wife Leonie.

With the team at Dr Chris O'Brien's Life House and his best mates - TV chef Miguel Maestre, Amanda Keller and Chris Brown - in his corner, Barry shares an incredible story that is heart-breaking and life-affirming in equal measure.

Raised in a fibro house beside a six-lane highway in Sydney's west, Barry retired from his successful building business in his early 40s to deal with crippling depression, but got a second wind as a television presenter talking about his favourite subjects - building and design - and becoming a later-life father to twins after a long quest via IVF and surrogacy.

Now, during what Barry describes as his 'last episode', he contemplates a gifted life and the lessons learned.
