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!

I was in empty stomach. I gained 5 kg.
7.5 kpa was before treatment and six month of treatment (2 results). 8.7kpa is 3 months off treatment.i did not do ultrasound only fibroscan.
My blood test are normal (alt 31Iu/ml, Ast 25iu/ml, hbvdna 75iu, hbsag 460 iu). What does it mean inflammation? I thought the inflammation is when alt, ast are high.

7.5 to 8.7 is  the same liver what matters is the trend

did you take fibroscan on empty stomach?did you gain weight?ultrasound shows no fatty liver?

that is probably inflammation which is the immune response clearing hbsag, not fibrosis.just recheck it by 6 months and then the trend will tell us what it is

i dont think tenofovir is a good choice as long as hbsag keeps declining,i think best choices are immune boosting choices like:
keep vit d3 supplements
another round of peg if decline stops

i dont think such low hbvdna makes a difference
