My mother was an Ansett Hostie for 20 years. Currently diagnosed with Stage 4 ovarian cancer that has metastasised to her lungs.
My father - retired for 9 years - has nil cancer (despite being a 3 pack a day smoker for 40 years), but has suffered typical Airline Pilot post-career heart attacks (6 in total), and is fitted with a pacemaker.
I was only flying for a little over 10 years and suffered BP issues myself.
It's a fantastic job, but it taxes your body.
