Hi Odalaigh: You are not alone! I'm treating for the third time. Many of us are treating for the second or third time. Check out the charts frijole has posted on her personal page. They contain treatment data for about 200 of us. The link is:

Yup, this is my 3rd go around. There are many others like us. I try to stay positive and only worry about side effects when they happen. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst. If it helps, I am und at 4 weeks which is RVR, rapid viral response, the gold standard at this point. It can still go wrong, but I don't worry about it, it is out of my control. I just force down the (gag) fat, take my meds as directed and try to live as normal a life as I can. It does end eventually, good luck Mark
