different phases:

“Comeback” from
the initial illness.
-
“Stable phase”
(during which the patient’s function is maintained).
-
“Unstable phase”
(during which there is disease recurrence).
-
“Downward
trajectory” (during which the person’s ability to function is in
decline and results ultimately in death). (Corbin
and Strauss, 1991)
