Just bumping your thread to the top. I'm sure someone will respond.
I tx'd in 1994, responded then relapsed and it was pretty rough going. I absolutely dreaded treating again but have done so (started in June 2008 for 6 months Genotype 3A). I knew I would have to again sometime and am glad I didn't earlier as I would've been given standard ribaviron. My specialist put me on a high dose for my weight, and while I started getting anemic, I managed to stabilise. Feel free to check my journal and posts.
Because I knew my condition had deteriorated I arranged for time off work, and stocked up on all the things I thought I may need, and read and re-read this site for tips on supplements etc. Without the handy hints I got here I would not have managed the tx, but I was also pretty determined to give it my best shot so did everything in my power to assist myself in getting there.
I did find the tx a little more difficult, but I'm a lot older, and a lot less healthy. I have met two people who fared better than me and know of many who continue to work.
However, in 1994 I didn't know that I had to keep myself hydrated (drink lots of water!!!), what vitamins may assist, that B-complex was important. And by 2008 I did have a better idea of what foods were liver-friendly.
I suggest you spend a good night on the PC searching this site and the Janice & Friends site so that you can co-manage your treatment. Get copies of all of your blood tests and check when they will do PCR's during tx.
I do wish you the very best of luck; tx'g such a long time ago, and having this hanging around your neck for so many years is a real drag. Have you had a biopsy done? There are new drugs around the corner, but it would certainly depend on whether you feel you are able to wait. Good luck.
