I got my 12 week results today (actually got them back in week 1 5).
The lab screwed up and didn't come up with the results as of 15 days
after they took the blood sample, until I took the initiative and called
the medical records dept. myself - you gotta do like everyone here says
and actively manage your own treatment.
ANYWAY: I'm undetectable at week 12 !!!!!!!!
The test range is 600 and up: anything under 600 is considered "not
detected", and my number was 52 ! My liver doc even said he was
"impressed" with my results.
But I got the results faxed while still at work. I go out in the lobby
and start calling wife, mom, sisters, can't reach anyone, so I call my
aunt in Florida and tell her my labs came back today and I'm
undetectable. She says, "What labs? Are you sick?" I hadn't every
told her about the sitch in the first place, so I had to start over at
the beginning.
But it was great.

Great stuff. That's good to hear. Can't get any better than
undetectable - even if it's a >600 test.

I've seen discussions here about different tests but it's never quite
sunk in. I know my HEP-C PCR labs always have a statement about the
test being "experimental" and not approved by the FDA.
