Hi:  Why are they looking for Leukemia.  I do have Leukemia, and never lost weight.  As a matter of fact the medication I am on has made me gain a LOT of weight.
Please post to let us know if they did any further testing.

I have the same problem with my stomache it is bloated and swollen even when drinking water. My lymph glands in my neck are really swollen. I started out weighing 140lbs and am down to 125 sometimes 118 you can notice the weiight loss in my legs and arms. They also found lymph glands in the stomache area on a ct scan. I go to my dr tommarrow and a surgeon on thursday to see what they are going to do. Sorry I couldnt help much, they dont seem to answer or help to much on this forum.
