Hello, I am so very sorry, Can-do and Orphan Hawk are right.  There is no sense in continuing.
Again, I am so sorry.
Take care

Can-do is spot on. There is no reason to continue treatment as it didn't work for you.
However, the future of hep C treatment looks bright with better treatment options on the horizon.

I am sorry but treatment did not work, staying on these meds would create more risk and very little odds of curing you. Take some time to recover and talk to your doctor about new meds that are in the pipeline...

Sorry about your news, don't give up newer treatment is coming, wishing you the best.
