you have the possibility to get rid of hbv so:

check again if hbsag is about 1000iu/ml (if over 1500iu/ml possibility to clear is few)
continue to take lamivudine but combo with interferon and alinia (generic nizonide500), if alinia is not available in ur country buy it online.
if possible use this combo: interferon+tenofovir+alinia+lamivudine (interferon+alinia lower hbsag to zero and this means hbv clerance, tenofovir+lamivudine will keeep hbvdna undetactable), you should clear hbv in 1-2 years

hbs ag quantitative 6535 COI
this is needed in iu/ml, no other unit is useful

hbvdna must stay undetactable

hbsag 1098iu/ml

very good, you might clear hbv by adding combo of interferon and alinia (nitazoxanide)

i think your first doctor was good and the second very bad, if the first doctor used interferon he saved your life because it made possible to avoid the virus mutations due to lamivudine.you are not 100% safe now for mutations since you take lamivudine you need to add other drugs to be safe

hbvdna is useless for viru clearance it is just used as a measure of antivirals not to make hbv mutations which are often untreatable
