Has An Enlarged Prostrate, Small Tumor In Bladder. Difficulty Passing Urine. Did Ultrasound, Urologist Suggests Surgery. Pneumonia Vaccination?
My husband is 88 years old and he has an enlarged prostrate and a small tumor in his bladder.
He was having great difficulty passing urine so I took him to the hospital. He had an ultrasound and the urologist recommended surgery which is booked for Sept. 16th. A family member lost her mother from pneumonia last year and she keeps telling me my husband should have a pneumonia vaccination. Do you think he should have this or not?

Hi, it is not the time to think of the pneumonia vaccination, let the present stage of treatment be completed, then you can think of the vaccination, as in the active stage of vaccination, antibiotics and other powerful medicines. Thank you.
