You'll get to UND alright-you are probably there now,I think you mean SVR.
You won't probably relapse but there is a chance that you may.
Nothing is guaranteed in this game.
You have to continue all the way though 'cos you have made a sufficiently good start to justify the full treatment.

I knew I was close but not close enough...so I guess I am happy my liver is getting a bit of a rest but I guess ultimately there is a good chance I may not UND or if I do I will probably relapse?

You will have to continue the treatment until at least week 48.
You are a whisker short of being undetectable at week 12.
It's a pretty good result although considering your fairly low baseline not an oustanding result.
Good luck with rest of the course.
