I am joining all of you who are doing the happy dance!

My starting VL was 14,400,000.

I started triple med treatment 9/26/11. (Pegasys, Ribavirin, Incivek)

My 4 week VL was detectable but less than 43.

My 8 week VL which was done on Monday Nov. 11 is: UNDETECTABLE.

Now I am doing the happy dance. (I just hope it stays undetectable.)

Robo229, James1000, Ziffy, frijole: Thanks so much for the good wishes.

frijole: Yes, I have to do 48 weeks since I was still detectable at 4 weeks (even though it was under 43). I am not hapy about the 48 weeks but I am definitely happy about the 8 weeks undetectable. And, yes, I was worried because my VL was so high. I am aiming for SVR.

pooh - this is wonderful, especially given that your pre treatment VL was so high.  I guess you will do 48 since you weren't clear at 4?
