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!

jsut  eat healthy it might be just inflammatory immune response on the liver to clear hbsag

i d not use antinflammatory foods now (curcumin, resveratrol, omega 3) and see what happens to hbsag by 6 months

I am surprised about antihbs. It would be a miracle to happen that.

I am not overweight. My BMI is 23, height 180cm, weight 75 kg. I am back from the appointment with the doctor. He said that the hbsag 460 iu/ml is a very good number. I ask him about fibroscan 8.7 kpa and he said that he is not sure about the value. I have to repeat hbv dna, hbsag and antihbs after six month. Now I am off treatment. Anny comment?

i also had liver a little enlarged at the end of peg but it is ok it will get to normal by 1 year

if fibroscan reading is due to fat and fatty liver i guess you can see it fro US

What does it mean inflammation?

its the immune response to clear hbsag, dont worry about this fibroscan difference is not relevant.just worry about healthy food and losing some weight if you are 5kg overweight

you may also try maitake supplements together with vit d3 to boost hbsag lowering, puritans.com has very low prices.i used it during peg and off peg but i couldn t tollerate it during pegintf, it made peg sides even worst.now it makes irritability and soem sides so i dont use it

I did in emty stomach. 7.5 kpa was in before treatment and during treatment. Now 3 months off treatment is 8.7 kpa.
My blood test are :
Alt 31iu/ml
Ast25Iu/ml
Hbv-Dna 75 Iu
Hbsg 460 Iu
I did not do the ultrasound.
What does it mean inflammation? I thought the inflammation  is when the Alt and Ast is high.
