Hello,
Bone marrow aspiration is done to look for cause of hematological disorders. Since, the red blood cell count and Hb are getting low and there is presence of a lymph node, there is suspicion of hematological disorder. Thus, I suggest you to get the bone marrow aspiration if the lymph node is easily accessible.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
