That explains why my chemo doctor was one step ahead of me when I tried to do a 'weigh in' holding my handbag (it looks and feels more like an overnight bag)

He politely put his hand out and took it from me saying that "we don't want to try and trick the scales do we?"......then I got a lecture about my weight loss (even with a PEG), he had obviously seen that sort of behaviour many times before. So obvious,... but it was worth a go at the time.
