I'm glad you found us! We've had others from Australia on the site and I will look to see if I can find any top doctor's names from searching posts.
Depending on her diagnosis of stage and grade, the treatment path is different. If she has CIS (carcinoma in situ) then BCG is the treatment of choice. If it is low grade and non-invasive then often they just keep an eye on it with regular cystoscopies and remove it when a tumor shows up. If it is high grade then treatment must be more aggressive.
Where are you in Australia? I used to live in North Turramurra outside Sydney and I know first hand that there are some great doctors and medical facilities in Oz. I wasn't treated for bladder cancer there but I was for other things and so was my wife.
