Referring to the man as Uncle Ronan, user aydiafaith describes how her family member was diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in late 2013, which spread everywhere.
Rolan, who is originally from Ireland, was the main breadwinner of the family, and so worked for two months after his diagnosis to provide for his wife and two daughters.
But after becoming bedridden and suffering a mini stroke, Rolan has been left unable to eat or speak.
The man, described as someone with 'an insatiable zest for life', wanted to see his daughters, 15 and 11, go off to college and be 'all they can ever possibly want to be.'
But sadly, Rolan won't live to see this.
Doctor's have said that Rolan will starve to death before his cancer kills him, because he is unable to eat and has become too weak to have a feeding tube installed.
His family, including wife Diane and daughters Keelan and Keara, are now forced to watch their beloved waste away.
With Rolan being the main breadwinner, his wife Diane is now drowning in medical bills, with all their savings and children's college funds drained of money.
