FAIRHAVEN Fairhaven senior Cyriss Fareas will be cheering for more than just football this season.
Fareas wasn t so sure of her future this time last year. In fact, she wasn t sure she would even make it this far.
On April 14, 2020, Fareas visited her doctor for her annual physical exam. Everything seemed fine until the doctor touched the skin around her collarbone and found swollen lymph nodes. By the way her doctor reacted, Fareas knew something was wrong. Fareas then visited a specialist in Boston, who found that her ultrasounds were abnormal. On May 22, she was admitted for an emergency biopsy. Four days later, Fareas received the news that she never saw coming.
