Sorcha’s Story: Two Years On – From Patient to Advocate

A Journey of Transformation

Two years ago, Sorcha arrived in Spain for gynaecological surgery feeling exhausted and overwhelmed from years of battling severe adenomyosis. With no resolution in sight and after being left on long waiting lists in Ireland, she had reached a breaking point—physically drained and emotionally spent.

Today, her life is completely different.

From Patient to Advocate

Sorcha is no longer just a patient—she’s an advocate, a vital part of the Healthcare Abroad team. Her personal experience has inspired her to ensure no woman feels the way she once did: unheard, unsupported, and without options. Every day, Sorcha works to help women across Ireland access the life-changing treatment she received, guiding them through the process with empathy and understanding.

“I remember how scared and uncertain I felt,” Sorcha shares. “Now, I get to reassure women that they’re not alone, that there is a solution, and that we will be with them every step of the way.”

Empowering Women with Knowledge

While Sorcha underwent a hysterectomy, she is passionate about raising awareness of the alternative procedures now available. Dr. Jorge Muñoz, a leading specialist at Healthcare Abroad, offers advanced laparoscopic techniques – including Laparoscopic uterine nerve ablation (LUNA) – that allow many women to preserve their fertility.

Full Circle: From suffering to Empowerment

Sorcha’s journey with Healthcare Abroad is nothing short of inspirational, from suffering in silence to helping others take control of their health. She proves that with the right support, care, and team behind you, recovery is not just possible—it’s empowering.
