Hi all. My dear FIL has become very unwell over recent weeks and has deteriorated rapidly. He is very elderly and my MIL has been told he most likely (95%) has cancer that has spread and has only weeks to live. Yesterday this appeared to be an optimistic prognosis as he was extremely unwell. Today however he is eating and drinking, talking, appears lucid and to have regained some strength. I have been reading about 'the rally' which appears to be a sign that death is imminent. My question is if anyone else has experienced similar 'rallying' or whether it's just a good day that we shouldnt read too much into. Thank you so much for reading.
