Isiscat speaks the truth. I have read many reports that people have had their 4-wk labs a few days early. It all works out OK. The only time I would complain about it is if I came in with a <23 instead of a UND. But I say go for the labs and see what you get. And I am certainly hoping for a UND for you. Stay in touch.

I follow you and I think you are fine. Many people, including myself, have had the first test a bit early and it hasn't presented a problem that I have heard about.
Keep in mind that the incivek triple tx was designed to hit the virus fast and hard. If the virus is king kong then the tx has to be Godzilla. When Godzilla is doing his job he is kicking some king kong butt within three and a half weeks.
I hope my king kong analogy is correct. Godzilla wins, right? Just kidding.

I started Pegasys, Riba, and teleprevir on the same day, Friday, Feb. 17. My doctor wants me to get my 4th week bloodwork next week, after my 4th shot. BUT, it will only be 3 1/2 weeks of full treatment. Follow me?
Anyway, does it make sense to do it that way, or should I point it out to him and suggest we wait a week or get it done the following week as well?
