Bob Aronson was only 54 years old and, in the words of his son Tom, “extremely healthy.”
“So it was really surprising to everyone when he went in for an annual routine eye exam and his eye doctor suspected diabetes,” Tom recalled.
With his diabetes diagnosis confirmed, Bob got back to his normal routine, with the addition of daily blood sugar checks. But only a year after that trip to the eye doctor, he received a diagnosis of metastatic pancreatic cancer. He died 9 months later.
