Since the alternative treatment includes Interferon, (Sovaldi + ribavirin + PEG*** for 12 weeks). I'm really not sure how effective treatment will be without it. (PEG). Hopefully her doctor can answer that as Ribavirin can cause problems.
Genotype 6 is not common in the U S. So we don't see it here very often, wishing you and your mother the very best.
