starting Incivek, third time treating

I am starting AGAIN, treating for a 3rd time.  This time, new doctor, new treatment, trying with the triple therapy.  My doctor is not exactly helpful.  I need a list of foods to eat with this drug and helpful hints on how to take it.  I am very familiar with the Peg and Rib.  I relapsed both times within a month after finishing my treatments.  I am going to give it one last try.  Thoughts?

Have a complete physical to see if you are healthy enough for the new tx.Watch your blood pressure and watch for any anemia or other side effects.I ate a lot of ice cream before bed,bagels and cream cheese,hot dogs and other meats high in fat,nuts,cheese,peanut butter and crackers,eggs,pizza,tuna fish,dark meat poultry,pork,etc.are some of the treats I ate 30 min before on Incevek.With Victrelis just an ordinary meal.Wish you luck in your 3rd attempt.

Hi there..Was wondering when we hadn't heard from you for  a number of months what had happened.

Were you not in the TMC 435 trial?  If so that as you would know is a protease and I am a little surprised you would be doing another protease with the resistance issues still looming?

Sorry if I am incorrect on this...

Best..
Will
