As a former drug rep, I am very familiar with Café Pharma and that it is primarily a place to vent about your employer. But my purpose here is different. I just wanted to say thank you to anyone and everyone who works for Gilead. I contracted Hep C in 1978 from a blood transfusion. I was lucky enough to be free from liver damage all these years and never tried interferon. I wanted to wait until a better, more efficacious drug was available and that's when I went on Sovaldi and Ribavirin. I was a Genotype 2 with a viral load of 47,000. I started therapy on June 7th and by July 1 was clear of the virus and still am today. I have had my post 3 month blood work and all is clear. Words cannot express how thankful I am for this drug that killed the "beast" I lived with for 36 years. My husband's insurance paid for it all except for a $30.00/month co-pay for both drugs. So thank you to all at Gilead - I am most grateful, thankful and appreciative to the reps out there who educated the practitioners about this drug. I will forever be most grateful. Thank you again.

Touching, though Gilead reps aren't educators

Thanks for the post Foster City Marketing!! Oh by the way, how are we going to grow the market and product sales? My docs are already praising Abbvie's pricing move!
 






With all the negativity on Cafe Pharma it is refreshing to read your post. How exciting to be rid of your nasty disease from a blood transfusion in 1978. I am excited to be part of an organization that has invested a great deal in R & D to bring innovation to the marketplace that makes dramatic differences in patients lives. I left big Pharma that was busy making "me too" drugs so that I could be a part of an organization that delivers breakthrough therapies. My niece also contracted Hep C in 1985 and has lived with it for 29 years. Solvaldi was her answer too in seven weeks. This is a year our family is very thankful for that new drug to bring health back to my niece. Thank you for your post

You've had enough of the Gilead koolaid, you work for a greedy pig company that has no ethics or morals.
 












I promise you, I AM NOT a Gilead employee and that I am truly a former pharma rep who was cured by Sovaldi. I guess I should have known better - that some of you out there think this is a set up post, but it is not. Until you have dealt with something as ominous as Hep C for 36 years, you have no idea how humbling it is to be cured. Again, thank you Gilead for bringing Sovaldi to market. I just wanted to say thank you on a public forum is all. You can believe me or not, but my post was as sincere as I can get.
