Being gt1 and just guessing from your post that you are treatment naive you have a 75% chance of achieving SVR with the addition of new drugs telaprevir or boceprevir. Best odds ever for gt 1 patients.
Geno type 1 is the hardest to treat and the most common in the US.
The next thing I'd suggest you do is find out how much liver damage you have with a liver biopsy. If you don't have much liver damage you could wait for a treatment with fewer side effects.
Good luck, Sherry
