What can i Do

Hello every one!
I'm from Albania! This is my history: In  sepember 2010 I have the result: Alt 420 IU, Ast300 IU, Hbeag Negative, hbv-dna 2.6x10^5 IU/ml. Immediatily I was put on interferon (roferon A 3 times weekly) for one year till october 2011. After 6 month off treatment (march 2012) my Alt 42 IU, Ast 35 IU,  hbv-dna 1.4x10^4 IU/ml, Hbsag 1080 IU/ml. On March 2012 Hbsag 960 IU/ml, Alt 40 IU Ast 30 IU. Today after 2 years and half after the end of treatment (march 2014) Alt 41 IU, Ast 30 IU Hbasg 747 IU/ml, Hbv-dna 4.0x10^4 IU/ml, Fibroscan (7.5 kpa) F2 (for the first time) . During this time I,m taking 5000 IU vit. D every day. Doctor told me to treat with tenofovir, because your fibroscan is F2. I ask him to treat me with  interferon, because I thougth that my hbsag is declining and is <1500 IU/ml., and doctor said ok , but we have to wait 1 month for interferon, because it will be delivered to hospital.\
My question is : Is my decision good to go for second time for interferon or to treat this time with tenofovir? The  first time of interferon was terrible, but  I want to be cured, not to be on tenofovir for all life.
Any suggestion Steff Ti prego!

Ohh that's sad bro. I can understand how it feels when a big step of peg fails. Any way hope is the thing which keeps man alive so better hope for off treatment response and do take tdf. Wait until herbernasvac comes for giving us a new push next year.

I finished the 48 weeks of Pegasus. Hbsag did not change, 750 iu/ ml. I failed brothers. It is hard. Next fight with tenofovir. Thank you all

the result will be easy to see 6months after pegintf is finished, now there is enhanced immune attack on the liver and the FB result can be masked by inflammation
