Doctor: Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You have autoimmune hemolytic anemia.  Treatment is immunosuppressive agent to prevent destruction of rbcs. So steroid is the drug of choice.  One other solution is splenectomy.  It will give some benifit.  Consult your doctor and plan for surgery accordingly.
