A former colleague of mine contacted me about a week back, and we have agreed to meet up for coffee later this week. He told me that he now has a diagnosis of xeroderma pigmentosum, which is a very serious skin disease. I think it is progressive, and eventually deadly. Before I meet him, can anyone tell me more about xeroderma pigmentosum? What happens to xeroderma pigmentosum and in what kind of time frame? What is the life expectancy for xeroderma pigmentosum?
