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 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 diagnosed with Hodgkin's lymphoma in August 2013 after returning from her honeymoon in Dubai.
After six months of chemotherapy ended in February this year, she is now cancer free and said the battle has made her determined to make the most of life.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
