Results after about 2 months of VitD3 5000iu and heptec

In April my viral load was 1.7 mil copies/ml.

the results now:-
Fibroscan -- 4.6 kpa
HBV DNA --  55,814 copies/ml
HBsAg (Quantitative) --  2906.99 IU/ml (cut off= 0.05 IU/ml)
25OH Vitamin D3 --  40.8 ug/l

Alt -- 54 u/l -----high (normal 0 - 44)
Ast -- 53 u/l ----high (normal 15 - 41)

Genotype, Precore Mutation, Polemerase mutation have to wait about 2 weeks.
My alt, art is always a little bit high. My doctor already wanted to treat me and she said I have about 50% chance now if I make peg interferon treatment. But I told her I wanted to wait for the time being.
I think vitD3 or heptec or both helped me in dropping so much hbv dna.

my alt and art is high like this for about 2-3 years I think.

I had first Pegasys shot on Saturday. Felt like I had the worst flu of my life.
Doctor told me to take Paracetamal if I couldn't stand it..I took just one in the end..

intf is the heavy one but it worths if hbsag goes down because a lifetime of antivirals whose sides longterm are unknown is not a good choice

I'll start 2g of Ntz first as you suggest.
I am scared of the tx to be honest.
But I think it's time to do it now before it's too late.
