HEALTH: Orla had good health through the years. In 1964 she and her husband adopted their first child, Loni Louise. Almost five years after Loni's birth, she gave birth to a daughter, Donna Louise, in 1968 and had a healthy pregnancy. In 1995, at age 70 after a routine mamogram, calcifications were found throughout her left breat and a biopsy followed. A diagnosis of DCIS, Ductal Carcinoma In Situ, where non-invasive cancer cells are found within milk ducts. She made the choice to have a complete mastectomy and reconstruction. It was considered a Stage 0 cancer and therefore no chemotherapy or radiation was needed.
