4 Week Blood Work Results

This tx is showing that it works. Being treatment naive, gen 2 on 400 mg solvadi/ 1000 mg ribavirin, my 4 week blood test results  came back with AST/15 ALT/6 and VL <15 NEG. Half way through 12 week treatment. Everything else in blood work is normal except Red Cell Distribution is high at 16.2.

Sounds great!    Just for your own info genotype 2 is the easiest to cure at this point in Tx.   Soon the 1a and 1bs will be given the best shot when the new meds come out in Oct.  Keep taking as prescribed and you will soon be on your way to SVR.   I'm also geno2, and did cure with the Sovaldi and Riba combo.  You are now half way there, and keep your eye on the prize.  In the end you will be so happy that these meds are now available to us all.  
As far as your Red Blood Dist, don't lose sleep over this as mine were also all over the board and are not a concern.  They will eventually even out, and you will be back in the drivers seat before you know it.   Also, keep in mind when Tx ends, the Riba will hang on for awhile so don't expect to feel "Wondeful" after your last med.   Give yourself a little bit of additional time for the meds to gradually clear out of your system.
Stay Strong!
