Agree find out your biopsy results and if they aren't very good you can find a good doctor to get you into one of the clinical trials that are going on.  Telepravir is having a very good success rate for people who did not succeed earlier and that is just one of the ones that is out there.

You can always retreat using a different combination of the current medications and treat for a longer period of time if needed.

I would not give up.  Some people on this forum have treated almost as many as TEN times and one fellow just finally succeeded and is cured and he used the trial that I mentionned above.

Like we said find out your results then make an educated decision.  You might have time to wait until they are no longer in trial and have been approved by the FDA even!

You really didn't ask a question but here's my 2 cents worth...
See what your upcoming bx shows and then make the decision
on whether to tx again or wait for the newer drugs.
Perhaps find another Dr. and get a second opinion if need be
Good luck to you
