I have find a method to submit test to Lahore. Decision will be based on QBSAG quantitative test and Fibroscan. Will do next month inshaAllah.
since hbsag is an inexpensive test, or should be, you may test every month and it should be und by next month.clinically you may test every 3 months
you also better start testing hbsab, if we are lucky it should be detactable by 3 months

platlets are tollerable as low as 25.000-30.000, less discontinue or have a specialist use drugs to boost it
neutrophils are tollerable as low as 0.5-0.7, less discontinue or have a specialist use drugs to boost it
thyroid, tsh,t3,t4 and thyroid auto-antibodies
discontinue if hyperthyroidism happens, very rare
hypothyroidism does not require to stop peg but a specialist is needed and t3 or t4 hormones used according to specilist indication

HBsAg quantitaive in IU/ml is a good test
Most doctors treating HBV here are unaware of it

hbvdna undetectable very early is a sign of response and if hbsag was low baseline like 1000-1500iu/ml there are chances to clear it
what was the reason to lower pegintf, platlets or neutrophils?getting it back to 180mcg would be best

You are on your way man. Very good result.
Looks like I am 4 weeks ahead of you (week 29th this week) but I am on 135mcg and no clue on my HBsAG numbers. HBV DNA Undetectable.
