My sister in law is a hypochondriac and is worried that she has leukemia. I want to take her claim seriously, but she is always worried that she has some sort of serious or terminal illness. Also, she is very overweight, and I wasn't sure if it was likely that she could have leukemia and still have a healthy appetite.

Lukemia has nothing to do with your weight that I'm aware of. Its a blood cancer. Not bone, organ or tissue.
Unless she has had her spleen removed a simple blood test would rule it out. (having no spleen would show the same results in a blood test as lukemia and not be accurate, otherwise it would be).

It sounds like she's having a hypochondriac moment! Tell her to pull herself together because if she really was ill, nobody would believe her.....including her doctors. People like this are a pain in the @ss.
She should stop eating so much as well and get herself a life.

tell her to go to her doctor and have a blood test done. It's quite simple to spot Leukemia in a blood test. Then, there is no doubt.
