I'm sorry to hear that Sarah is sick! Unfortunately, I'm not quite sure what you mean by "liver is # one to come back." It would definitely help to have more information about what her specific diagnosis is, or more specific information on her lab results in order to provide any helpful suggestions. Anemia has many different causes, so I'm afraid it's not possible to say what kind of treatment she should be on without more information. Feel free to post again with more information, or request a consultation with one of us for a more in-depth discussion if you prefer.
