Apparently she worked for years as cabin crew. Cabin crew do get subjected to more mutating cosmic radiation than other people.
Some routes are worse than others of course: the worst are the ones over the North Pole (Europe-Alaska or Europe-Japan/Korea/Beijing) where the Earth's protecting magnetic field is weaker. I've been told that one such flight provides a dosage about equivalent to that of a CT-scan. Imagine doing that every day.
