So sorry that you are going through this. An endoscopy or probably in your case a cystoscopy will allow the doctor to see the inside of the bladder and at the same time they can take a biopsy or possibly remove what is there. The biopsy can than be tested to see if there is a malignancy or not.
You should really ask your doctor what they plan to do and why.
Whatever this is you need to pursue it until you have all the answers. You need to know exactly what you are dealing with, and than you can deal with it.
Take care.

endoscopy is painless today. i have one done every year. theyre give you a sedative then just before they do the test they give you a shot to cause amnesia so you do not remember after the endoscopy. so dont worry about it ok.
