It would be best to discuss your concerns with the doctor. The BCG is usually given after removing the cancer. So this means that all of it was removed (of course an argument can be made as to the definition of all. We can only say all for what can be picked up by testing. There will never be a guarantee that everything can be removed). There is some controversy as to the degree of protection it actually confers. If the position of the cancer is in a place where only a part of the bladder need be removed, you could discuss about conservative surgery. Stay positive.
