Hi I have been diagnosed with bladder cancer, and have started BCG treatment – so far it seems to be going quite well. Reading the (mostly USA based) forums to try to improve my knowledge of the disease – it seems to me that in the US the urologists often team up with oncologists in determining your treatment options – but (from my admittedly very limited understanding) not so much in Australia – where the urologists tend to handle it all. I’m quite keen on getting a second opinion on my treatment – no issue with my current urologist but there is a lot at stake for me (!) – does anyone have a recommendation for a Melbourne based uro-oncologist, or perhaps a urologist specializing in bladder cancer? With thanks to anyone able to help!

Ive had bladder cancer for 15 years now. My urologist sent me to a oncologist (sydney) and I was under his care while I had BCG treatment about 5 years ago.
