Elya Martinson, shown in this handout image, has two important milestones coming up in her calendar: the anniversary of the appointment that changed everything, and the aspirational date of the appointment that could bring her and her family some measure of security. Friday marks the one-year cancerversary of the day the single mother of three in Kelowna, B.C., learned she had Stage 4 lung cancer, a diagnosis made all the more devastating that the COVID-19 crisis forced her children to stay home from school to shield her from the severe risks of infection.
