Whats she been diagnosed with? There's a vast difference in prospects between a fatty liver and cirrhosis for example. However both can be stabalised and a non cirrhotic liver can repair with lifestyle changs.

To put things into prespective I was diagnosed with cirrhosis at 27 and need transplant at 42. That's 15 years.
