UPDATE!!!!!
I just got my 4 week labs back, and my viral count in the beginning was over 4million.. I got the call today that only after 4 weeks of treatment I'm UNDETECTABLE!! Woohoo!!! All the pain and cryin is paying off!! Have a doctors appointment tomorrow, can't wait to talk to him!!! All of you guys have been so great to me, just wanted to let everyone know my progress!! :D
We were diagnosed about the same time. You are doing so well and I am very happy for you. Keep up the good work kiddo!!!!
You cleared the virus in 4 weeks- that means you're a rapid responder. That's excellent!! I believe the cure rate is increased with that type of response. Remember, UND does not mean cured. Complete the entire round of TX all the way to the end.

Thanks everyone!! You guys are such a great support system!! Glad to have all of you!!
Great news! Go the distance and the race is won. Good luck with the rest it's a long hard road but worth the trip if you get to were you want to be.....SVR.
I've been doing the peanut bully jelly time dance!! Thanks you guys!! I'm actually on the Riba, and interferon though Magnum!
WAY TO GO!!! I'm so happy for you. You are on your way to a hep free life...........
I couldn't be happier for you! I can't wait to hear all the undetectables this coming year after the release of Telaprivir...

I believe there are some European studies that have shown geno 1's who RVR with a starting viral load of <400,000 IU/mL which is considered low are candidates for a shorter treatment duration and have acheived SVR. I know you'd love to cut your treatment short with that RVR but if I recall your viral load was 4 million so you don't want to take any chances.
It's looks like this is going to be a one time deal for you, no do-overs necessary so take it to end. It'll get tougher as time goes on but well worth it for a hepc free life and a healthy liver.

That is great! You are having a great response.
I'm 1a too but I didn't respond that quickly. Unfortunately everything I have read about cutting regular SOC short with our genotype resulted in relapses. Sure don't want to do that.
Hang in there,

It doesn't get any better than that! That 4-week RVR is like hitting the lottery, congratulations on such a great response! If you're genotype 1 it means you won't have to extend to 72 weeks... stats are in your favor that you will get to SVR by doing 48 weeks.
Hope your doctor's appointment goes well tomorrow... with such great results, it's sure to be a good visit!
The best feeling undie in the world! :) ~eureka
