Hi,
You need to consult your urologist as when the bladder is cut due to cancer its size is reduced and its really hard to repair the urinary tube with small sized bladder. You should get second opinion but for me it seems hard to get rid of urinary bag.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.
