Dana, that is awesome news about the lymphoma. Your vet is right in that the kidneys are a much bigger problem than the liver. The liver is a pretty amazing organ that can regenerate over time. And CAH is not always treated with steroids. (My dog has a diagnosis of CAH, has not had steroids and his liver numbers have dropped almost back into the normal range over a year's time.) The kidneys are a whole different ballgame and once they lose function you can't get it back. So you need to do everything possible right now to protect her remaining kidney function and to make it easier for her kidneys to work effectively.
Yes, it's a long road. It seems your dog has exactly the same diagnosis as mine. Kidney disease, hepatitis, pancreatitis. We're not sure about the gall bladder. Nothing has ever shown on a scan, but adding ursodial saved his life. I am sending lots of positive thoughts and prayers for your baby!
