A young woman who was diagnosed with cancer weeks after her honeymoon has commemorated her survival as part of a nationwide campaign.

Sabah Ghani, 24, has had a park bench named in her honour through the Stand Up to Cancer campaign.

In a twist on the plaque dedications which are normally placed in memory of a loved one, the engraving on her bench in Glasgow reads: "Sabah Ghani loved sitting here...and still does thanks to everyone who Stands Up To Cancer."

The 24-year-old was just 23 when she was diagnosed with Hodgkin's Lymphoma in August 2013 after returning from her honeymoon in Dubai.

She had felt unwell in the run-up to her wedding to Zain Khan on June 21 last year but her doctor initially put it down to pre-wedding nerves.

After a six-month course of chemotherapy which ended in February this year, she is now cancer free and said the battle has made her determined to make the most of life.

She said: "I feel I've been given this second chance and I'm determined to make the most of it.

"Every day has to be special and there's no point in settling for second best. Cancer has made me stronger and more forgiving.

"I've missed out on so much after my wedding day. I don't have time to miss out on anything more.

"To anyone going through cancer I'd say stay strong, fight against it and never let it beat you."

Her bench in Bellahouston Walled Garden is one of a series being placed around the UK as part of Stand Up To Cancer.

A joint fundraising campaign from Cancer Research UK and Channel 4, Stand Up To Cancer raises money to fund research to get better treatments to cancer patients faster.

Ms Ghani said: "I'm delighted this fantastic bench has been dedicated to me. It's a great way of showing that people can survive this devastating disease.

"I hope everyone who sees it will be inspired to help create more tomorrows for people like me and my family by getting involved in the Stand Up To Cancer campaign and raising money for life-saving research."

Stand up to Cancer will culminate in a live TV fundraiser on Channel 4 at 7.30pm on Friday October 17, hosted by Davina McCall, Alan Carr and Dr Christian Jessen.

Lisa Adams, Cancer Research UK's spokeswoman for Scotland, said: "We are used to seeing benches dedicated to people who have passed away, so we hope this unusual inscription will encourage people to think and reflect on the incredible progress that's been made in the last 40 years. More people are surviving cancer than ever before.

"We have the technology and the knowledge to conquer cancer. We just need the funds to turn it into real-life treatments."
