Hi Barry and Maxine. I think it’s great that you put this vlog out , it definitely raises awareness. It’s very brave of you to share this news with your followers. Im just so glad that it’s been detected early and that they are monitoring you. It must of been so hard for you to go to the meet up with so much on your mind so well done to you both. It’s true that you never know what anyone else is going through, people think that other people have perfect lives and it’s not always the case, you don’t know what anyone is going through.You can hide all sorts behind a smile. I will be following your journey and I wish you well, I have followed you and Max for a long time now and feel like I know you guys. Look after yourselves and I wish you both a very happy Christmas and a happy new year xx
I am a 22 year lung cancer survivor, lost my left lung, never smoked. Cancer was found as a coincidence, checking if I had fully recovered from pneumonia. You both seem to be proceeding so sensibly. Prayers for you and Maxine, and please do keep us updated.
Barry, you so brave putting this out , it’s very eye opening and life evaluating , I sincerely hope everything comes back clear , and it goes without saying .. GOOD LUCK MATE ❤
Ah hell, amigo, sorry for your troubles. You have the right attitude and a generous spirit to share the process with us. All the very BEST for you and Mrs B 👊🏻
Thank you for putting this out there and letting folks know the truth. Your words will help people more than you know! Someone out there will be watching whilst going through the same or worried about symptoms. I do hope all is well for you and we will all be there to support you even if it means throwing a couple of dollars in the pot for tests etc.! On another note … Wishing you, Maxine and yours a very happy Christmas ❤❤
You’ve done exactly the correct thing Barry. Tests are frightening & knowing from when I lost my twin to Liver cancer, everything is so scary. Hope tests continue to be ok xx
My current PSA is 10.4 , so i had an MRI scan, which showed something on my prostate and now i am waiting for the results from 32 samples taken from my prostate (under a local anesthetic.) you will pass blood for a while. I have always had a high PSA at its highest it was 24 , I have had a TURP (Prostate scrape) because of my enlarged prostate i had Urine retention and was cathaterised for 12 months. Stay possitive Bazza, all the best. Merry christmas to you all over there.
My family have the best warmest memories of meeting you in the Summer Barry, sending you both lots of love, what a brave and informative video to post xxx
Barry your are an absolute star , we watch you every week you make us smile 😊 My Dad also has prostrate cancer but he's maintaining it. He is an healthy 75 year old. Just keep doing what you're doing heart you and Max x
I’m glad you have gone to get it checked nice and early. Far to many blokes say it will be reet and before you know it’s to late. Got everything crossed for you. Also it’s good to see the process incase others have to go through it
My husband found out he had prostrate cancer from a normal blood test in January 2020. After various tests like yourself he was recommended to have his whole prostrate removed which then happened in June 2020 - during lockdown so I couldn’t visit him in hospital so a difficult time time for us. Luckily he recovered well and so far tests have shown all is well - he has now yearly blood test to check it. He was very lucky it was caught early and dealt with before it spread. He does have side effects from the operation but we both say the important thing is he is healthy. His brother has since been diagnosed & had same operation so our sons will have to have extra tests in the future. Good luck Barry. X🤞🤞
Bazza and Mrs Bazza, Thankyou for bringing this to the forefront to help enlighten and provide information to your listeners. It will really help. Keep your chins up, I know sometimes it’s difficult but best thoughts for you. Enjoy your Christmas holidays. ❤
Sending you both my love. Hope you get some definitive answers at your next appointment and that it's good news (I'm sure it will be, remember to stay positive). Take care. X❤
Love u guys n thank you for sharing your experiences…you are an amazing guy Barry for putting this out there. We’re all behind you on this journey-you will have our full support. Much love to you and Maxine xx
Hi Both, I totally understand. I got breast cancer stage 3. Got biopsy with only lidocaine rubbed on. With my mri I had to lie face down with my boob's hanging through two holes. I was shaking so much I couldn't get on the bed. I got 6mths of chemo, an op, then 9 daily sessions of radiotherapy. So far so good. I got a mild tranquiliser for my other two mri tests and it did help. Like you I told everyone I knew. It was easier on me. All the best from someone who knows only too well.❤
Wow Bazza, not sure what to say… you are very brave doing this vlog and the better half and I wish you all the best on this journey and fingers crossed that everything turns out ok for you. Have a good weekend both
Hi Barry and Maxine just watched your vlog. Well done for having fortitude for making it as it could have been a lot more serious. I’ve just gone through the same issue with high PSA figure have an mri scan and then told it’s not to bad but will check bloods in 6 months which I’m due to have in January. Hope everything goes well for you on next tests. Makes you put life choices in perspective and makes you enjoy every day even more. Stay well both of you. Love Paul R
Hi Barry, I’m the same age as you, so this really hits home for me. I’ve had some blood test results that weren’t normal too-very similar to your situation-and it’s such a scary experience, mate. It’s not easy, but staying positive makes all the difference, especially with your lovely wife by your side for support. It’s a reminder to live life to the fullest, as the lodge boys say, “every day is best.” It’s great that you caught this early, and thank you for speaking up and bringing awareness-you’re definitely going to help so many others. Here’s to living well-drink and be merry, my friend!
Hi guys ... Stay positive, having a great health service over there, I know it's alot of money but they are good and very thorough Getting checked early and having regular checkups is the key . We're ALL rooting for you 😊 xx
Cheers Matt . After you last Vegas series I am now back on the MyVegas app building up credit and plan to go find that 2.5K winning Starbucks run machine lol
Hi Barry & Max I have to say well done for putting this vlog together & sharing your experience ❤ Extremely informative as always, there is a huge focus on Prostrate Cancer here in the UK at the moment, ever since Chris Hoy made his diagnosis public. I work in Primary Care & when it was made public that Chris Hoy had prostate cancer we had an influx of phone calls from men wanting to get their PSA levels checked. Sending you & Max lots of love xxxxxx
Wishing you all the best, my brother lives in Spain and is living with prostrate cancer. His appointments there are so slow at times but he carries on. Sending you both the very best for Christmas xx
Very informative Bazza, its very frightening to experience these health hiccups. It seems that you have a lot of positive medical analysis to date. There will be millions of men going through this who will not go to the doctor so its great that you have Vlogged this very worrying situation. I am your age and a couple of years ago was diagnossd with 3 breast lesions, as a stage 4 unknown mass. I had biopsies done, it was supposed to be 80% probably cancerous. My specialist was very surprised that they were all benign. These lesions can be as a result of inflamation and infections. Biopsies can also awaken dormant cancer cells to activate!!! Anyway, at our age we have to be prepared and face it head on. I send mega Hugs to you and Max. I will be praying for excellent results in January Bazza. ❤️🩹
Sending all our best wishes for the future. The fact that you have taken the important steps to get this looked into early enough is a big plus. Thank you for confiding/sharing with us. We're here for you. XX ❤
It think you ate so brave (both of you) for sharing this with us. I've had a couple of health scares but we live in the UK and take our (wonderful) NHS which mostly free at the point of delivery for granted sometimes. Fingers crossed for the future
Sorry to hear that you have both been going through this. Obviously, sending best. The whole medical world ‘thing’ can be totally overwhelming because it’s not the norm for most of us. All big metal things, and sticky things, and glovie type things. HOWEVER, the folk that work there ( in short ) wizards and geniuses! I am sending a completely FREE hug to both of you ( Yes, you heard right! Completely FREE of charge, on a hug one get one FREE basis ) We are all human and need maintenance from time to time. Elvis used to say it’s TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS ( TCB ) Let’s do this - let’s rock! ( nuff said ) xx
Knowledge & information is a wonderful thing Barry. Well done for sharing your journey, must of been a worry, but i’m hopeful the outcome will be positive for you. Hope you and your family have a lovely stress free Christmas. All the best.
A very emotional vlog Bazza. I've had the camera twice now and trust me being knocked out is best, but I hope it doesn't come to that. You said some excellent things regarding taking in the data and also about emotional baggage that people maybe carrying. Thoughts and prayers that everything will be okay. Happy Christmas to you and Max and a peaceful and healthy 2025. All the best 👍🏻
Total respect for you and Maxine in sharing your story. Very informative vlog and by doing so hopefully encouraging others to get there health checks. It makes you realise how we are all vulnerable and sending hugs and support on this journey. ❤
It really doesn’t sound like anything to lose sleep over at the moment. You have a good attitude and a great outlook in general you will be fine.😊..merry Christmas and a happy HEALTHY new year……
❤ sorry you are going through this. I know it takes a mental toll. Looks like you did all the right things by getting an annual checkup. Praying for an excellent result from your next test!
Well done on this vlog Bazza. Kudos to you for being so open and honest. You're a very brave man to share your experiences in this way. We men can be way too quick to bury our head in the sand and ignore these issues, so thanks for being such a positive example for us all 👍🏼
Stay positive, Bazza! I went through a similar trial this past May when my annual PSA result went from its usual 1.2 - 1.4 to 9.2! Needless to say, like you, I was freaking out. Six weeks later, and after lots of worrying, I had another blood test done and my PSA was back to 1.5. My urologist couldn't explain the sudden rise but told me he would see me in one year for another test, so I suppose he wasn't overly concerned about it. I have gotten an exam yearly since my 50th birthday because my father had very aggressive prostate cancer. On a scale of 1 to 10, I was told that my dad's cancer was an 11. Sadly, he did not live long after the diagnosis as the cancer soon spread. So, as you pointed out in your video, it's VERY important to get checked regularly, regardless of how uncomfortable the exam is. Here's hoping that your next checkup is normal!
Wow cracking video. Courage and honesty. Emotional and gripping. Stay strong and positive. Brave . I keep having annual tests because it’s better to catch it early.
Appreciate this very transparent and open video. It was interesting to hear how healthcare in Florida is compared to UK. Hoping its only good news for you going forward. Cheers
So proud of you for sharing your journey, that C word can hit like a brick wall, we are all wishing for the best outcome for you, I hope by talking and sharing this helps you and lots of others in the same situation. Lovely end message of be kind, love to you and Maxine 🥰
😢I'm so sorry for what you are going through. You are so brave sharing this, and have probably helped so many people by sharing this. Please god, you will come out the other end, you are one special man sharing this, I am so happy you share this with us. I loved Mrs Bazza giving you a hug, ❤ Loads of love . I am from an Irish family and it was always say something nice or don't say anything ☘️ Loads of love 🥰
Hey Barry I'm 45 & going through the exact same thing. The instant fear and dark cloud over u is the worst feeling. I had the camera up Mr winky & that was eh special then the prostate check so that was a fun day. 😂
Thank you, and I hope this helps others! This was a great vlog! Praying for good news for you and Mrs Bazza in 3 months! Keep on top of this!!❤❤ and Merry Christmas! Why didn't you take home the Lodge Guys gift!!!! It was too funny!!😂
I truly hope everything works out to be nothing. Although I don't know you and Maxine personally, I feel like I do. Sorry if that sounds weird. Side note. When you were talking about the MRI and being put all the way in. Maxine said "there's nothing down there close to your head babe". I admit, I kinda had a good chuckle. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts!
Your such a lovely couple, Bazza your so brave and courageous talking about it the way you have, I admire you so much, hope your feeling strong and let's hope everything starts going in the right direction, regardless things have been caught early which can only be a good thing, we're all behind you to keep you up and support you, God bless and stay positive 😊
Oh flippin heck, I was not expecting a vlog like this 🙁… Very brave of you to share this unexpected journey Barry. Sending you positive thoughts and wishing you and Max a very Happy Christmas and a healthy New Year ❤️🇬🇧
We do dozens of prostate ops here in AH Orlando Recovery very routinely procedure these days with great outcomes. You will be fine. Start big lifestyle and diet changes is my best advice. Sugar is BAD. Will Pray for you.
I feel the same as you about getting an MRI, I hate it. They have "Wide Bore" MRI scanners now which are much more open and less confining than the traditional MRI scanners and they are just as accurate. Hopefully when I need my next MRI it can be done in one of those.
Sending you Love, Light and Healing Energy. I'm not a doctor, but I have been doing a lot of research on fasting and other diet formats to fight cancer (I've had family members in the last 5 years dealing with Cancer). Anyway, from what I have researched. Cancer cells feed off of Glucose (sugar), if you fast or just take out sugar in your diet it should help to shrink the cancer. On TH-cam, you can watch Diary of a CEO - The Cancer Expert, Also Diary of a CEO has a discussion with a fasting expert. Also on TH-cam is a documentary called Fasting: The Healer Within. Good luck with everything and I am praying for you both.
Weldone I hope this will help many here in UK. The PSA test here leads to many questions and like USA the advanced test is limited to local NHS budgets. Both of you have a wonderful christmas. 😍😍
Unfortunately my husband has it and doctors did not catch it in time his psa 1708 and went to his spine and he collapsed they did durgery and now hes walking his psa is now 0.05 after 3 years he still has cancer and the tablets is keeping it stable. Life will feel strange at 1st, but I wish all the hugs to you and your family. The annoying thing is travel insurance they charge over £3000 it's not anyone fault if you have an illness. You do go into darkness, but on the other hand, doctors can help. You are correct. Be kind. You just don't know how they are. X
Your so right Bazz be kind and I do hope and pray everything stays clear 🤞you just putting it out there about early symptoms will undoubtedly will help someone ❤ And still in your darkest hour your still making us laugh...... you can rule out the bike but not the other as you both blushed😂😂 in my thoughts and prays ❤
I literally had the same scenario last year mine also went up to 4.3 also noticed peeing more often and poor flow. NHS put me on 2 week rule had MRI and luckily not cancer just enlarged,Fingers crossed 🤞 you have the same result.
Clermont radiology is amazing at getting you in quick and much cheaper. I had to have an MRI of my brain and it was terrible. They put a basket over your head and cover it with a blanket. I’m mildly claustrophobic so had to close my eyes and pretend I was on a cruise ship😂 Sorry you are going through this. Hope everything works out for you ❤
You also don't get antibiotics unless you actually get an infection, my husband had referral from GP to operation 6 weeks ,best of luck Barry they are so good with prostate now
Barry, I admire you so much for sharing this with us and being so honest and to the point on such a personal subject. We wish you all the luck in the world that this has a positive outcome. Keep your chin up and stay positive. You are right, you just don’t know what people are going through, a smile on the outside doesn’t mean they are smiling inside. Best wishes to you and Max ❤

Thank you so much!
I’m glad you have gone to get it checked nice and early. Far to many blokes say it will be reet and before you know it’s to late. Got everything crossed for you. Also it’s good to see the process incase others have to go through it
Hopefully this vlog urges others to get checked early
My husband found out he had prostrate cancer from a normal blood test in January 2020. After various tests like yourself he was recommended to have his whole prostrate removed which then happened in June 2020 - during lockdown so I couldn’t visit him in hospital so a difficult time time for us.

His brother has since been diagnosed & had same operation so our sons will have to have extra tests in the future.
Good luck Barry. X🤞🤞
Sorry to hear what he went through, but happy he is alright now xxx
Bazza and Mrs Bazza, Thankyou for bringing this to the forefront to help enlighten and provide information to your listeners. It will really help. Keep your chins up, I know sometimes it’s difficult but best thoughts for you. Enjoy your Christmas holidays. ❤

Thank you
Hi Both, I totally understand. I got breast cancer stage 3. Got biopsy with only lidocaine rubbed on. With my mri I had to lie face down with my boob's hanging through two holes. I was shaking so much I couldn't get on the bed. I got 6mths of chemo, an op, then 9 daily sessions of radiotherapy. So far so good. I got a mild tranquiliser for my other two mri tests and it did help. Like you I told everyone I knew. It was easier on me. All the best from someone who knows only too well.❤
Thank you for sharing, that's quite a journey you went on, I hope you are Cancer free now xx
Wow Bazza, not sure what to say… you are very brave doing this vlog and the better half and I wish you all the best on this journey and fingers crossed that everything turns out ok for you.
Have a good weekend both

Hey Barry I'm 45 & going through the exact same thing. The instant fear and dark cloud over u is the worst feeling. I had the camera up Mr winky & that was eh special then the prostate check so that was a fun day. 😂
Mr Winkey lol, I hope things are working out for you
Thank you, and I hope this helps others! This was a great vlog! Praying for good news for you and Mrs Bazza in 3 months!
Keep on top of this!!❤❤ and Merry Christmas!
Why didn't you take home the Lodge Guys gift!!!! It was too funny!!😂
Well one reason is it weighted about 20kg :-)
I truly hope everything works out to be nothing. Although I don't know you and Maxine personally, I feel like I do. Sorry if that sounds weird. Side note. When you were talking about the MRI and being put all the way in. Maxine said "there's nothing down there close to your head babe". I admit, I kinda had a good chuckle. I will keep you and your family in my thoughts!
Thank you so much
Best wishes - my mum is battling cancer at the moment - liver and now in other places. Can understand your worry as health is so important ❤
All the best to your Mum and you all xxx

Oh flippin heck, I was not expecting a vlog like this 🙁… Very brave of you to share this unexpected journey Barry. Sending you positive thoughts and wishing you and Max a very Happy Christmas and a healthy New Year ❤️🇬🇧
Thank you
My husband had prostate cancer, had his removed, fortunately they caught it in time and is fully recovered.
Thats great news
Hi Barry, best wishes, hoping everything turns out well.
Many thanks
We do dozens of prostate ops here in AH Orlando Recovery very routinely procedure these days with great outcomes. You will be fine. Start big lifestyle and diet changes is my best advice. Sugar is BAD. Will Pray for you.
Thanks for the tips!
So so brave to share this journey
Praying for you bazza
Stay strong the both of you ❤xxx
Thank you so much!!
Thank you so much!!
Mr B sending you well wishes and for a happy new year for you and Mrs B ❤
Same to you!
I feel the same as you about getting an MRI, I hate it. They have "Wide Bore" MRI scanners now which are much more open and less confining than the traditional MRI scanners and they are just as accurate. Hopefully when I need my next MRI it can be done in one of those.
Ohh good to know
Sending you Love, Light and Healing Energy. I'm not a doctor, but I have been doing a lot of research on fasting and other diet formats to fight cancer (I've had family members in the last 5 years dealing with Cancer). Anyway, from what I have researched. Cancer cells feed off of Glucose (sugar), if you fast or just take out sugar in your diet it should help to shrink the cancer. On TH-cam, you can watch Diary of a CEO - The Cancer Expert, Also Diary of a CEO has a discussion with a fasting expert. Also on TH-cam is a documentary called Fasting: The Healer Within. Good luck with everything and I am praying for you both.
Thank you for sharing this, much appreciated
Weldone I hope this will help many here in UK. The PSA test here leads to many questions and like USA the advanced test is limited to local NHS budgets. Both of you have a wonderful christmas. 😍😍
Thank you and hope you have a Merry Christmas also
Unfortunately my husband has it and doctors did not catch it in time his psa 1708 and went to his spine and he collapsed they did durgery and now hes walking his psa is now 0.05 after 3 years he still has cancer and the tablets is keeping it stable. Life will feel strange at 1st, but I wish all the hugs to you and your family. The annoying thing is travel insurance they charge over £3000 it's not anyone fault if you have an illness. You do go into darkness, but on the other hand, doctors can help. You are correct. Be kind. You just don't know how they are. X
So sorry to hear about your husband, all the best to you both for Christmas xx
Your so right Bazz be kind and I do hope and pray everything stays clear 🤞you just putting it out there about early symptoms will undoubtedly will help someone ❤ And still in your darkest hour your still making us laugh...... you can rule out the bike but not the other as you both blushed😂😂 in my thoughts and prays ❤
Definitely not the bike lol
Good luck ☘️
Cheers
Best of luck to you please God all will be well
Thank you
They gave me a choice of music when I had an MRI. I’ve had two! It is scary!
I will definitely ask if there is a next time
I literally had the same scenario last year mine also went up to 4.3 also noticed peeing more often and poor flow. NHS put me on 2 week rule had MRI and luckily not cancer just enlarged,Fingers crossed 🤞 you have the same result.
Great news, thank you
Sending big hugs from London
Received in Orlando xx
Life’s to short and you only get one so live it to the full.
I think this as been such an informative vlogg without scaring men and brave to allow us to follow this journey
Thanks
Clermont radiology is amazing at getting you in quick and much cheaper. I had to have an MRI of my brain and it was terrible. They put a basket over your head and cover it with a blanket. I’m mildly claustrophobic so had to close my eyes and pretend I was on a cruise ship😂
Sorry you are going through this. Hope everything works out for you ❤
If you saw our cruise ship adventures, that's the last thing I would be thinking about lol
Hope all goes well
Cheers
You don't get general anaesthetic in uk for biopsy its just a local but nhs have 2 week rule to see specialist from gp referral which they do
You also don't get antibiotics unless you actually get an infection, my husband had referral from GP to operation 6 weeks ,best of luck Barry they are so good with prostate now
Good luck ❤
Thank you
My dad had it at 58 got it removed he’s now 72 be careful at least you got it early if you have it
Thank you, early is best
So sorry prayers ❤
Thanks
Me too. Just started watching but wanted to send some love from the get go. 💜
Are you having a biopsy?
As we said in the vlog, yet to be determined in Jan
❤❤❤
Barry, I admire you so much for sharing this with us and being so honest and to the point on such a personal subject. We wish you all the luck in the world that this has a positive outcome. Keep your chin up and stay positive.
You are right, you just don’t know what people are going through, a smile on the outside doesn’t mean they are smiling inside.
Best wishes to you and Max ❤
Cheers, all the best to you Linda
You wonder did you maybe get thrown around a bit on a rollercoaster before the test and that’s why your results were high.
Not sure , they never said that would be an concern
