Bladder Cancer Stage 1

I had blood in my urine on and off for about 4 mths. Whenever I had it tested with my gen practioner it would be negative. I decided to see a urologist and he performed a cystoscope [cystoscopy] and discovered the growths. He has removed the growths and I now have an appointment scheduled with an oncologist for the 5th of March. Does anyone know what the preferred treatment is for superficial, stage 1 bladder cancer? I had the surgery over two weeks ago and I still have blood in my urine. I really don’t want chemo nor do I really like the idea of radiation. Has anyone gone through this? I’m a female, age 58.
