As far as the scale thing. I would wear progressively heavier clothes and shoes as my treatments went on. Every week I lost weight. It got to the point where my nurse would make me do a feeding everyday when I came for rad. She even started weighing me daily. I didnt realize til it was over how much she was helping me keep my nutrition up.
Best of luck with the continuing treatments.
