I was more than content if I could keep my Hemoglobin at 10. 10 is usually the value where intervention is considered (dose reduction) though some people can continue to treat at this level without dose reducing. It just depends on the person & their medical particulars.

I see you are having another Fibroscan. How old is that Fibroscan of 8 you mentioned. Is that -= to a Metavir stage 2?
The thing is didn't your Hepa tell you No more Interferon? If that is the case then I am not sure what to say. I'm not sure if you have other conditions so forgive me if I am out of line here but it is sounding like you might be able to adhere to triple treatment duration with perhaps maybe more effective side management.
Bone pain and Neutropenia are known potential side effects of Peginterferon. As mentioned, dose reduction is one course of action. However based on the posts I have seen here, and what i have read elsewhere in addition to people I know personally who have treated there are ★Many★ approaches to effective management of averse events ~ especially pain.
I agree with others that so much of what you have said indicates you responded well to the meds in the past. If (IF) you decide to treat again I would find a way to plan in advance with a doctor (or doctors) differently versed in side effect management with triple therapy. You deserve a fighting chance to tolerate the treatment and maintain some type of quality of life in the process.
Treatment Duration
Thought there are some caveats, the gist is:
As a relapser if you treat with Incivek and are UND on weeks 4 & 12 you would be eligible to treat 24 weeks; if not, treatment duration would be 48 weeks.
It's a little trickier with Boceprevir so here's a chart:
