I can understand you asking, but I'm afraid I am not sure exactly what will happen next.
When BCG is given as what is called a maintenance treatment, the schedules can vary depending on the risk of the bladder cancer coming back. Sometimes it is given for 3 years, I don't think it is usually given for longer than that.
It may be that after your 27th treatment you will have had 3 years in which case your course of treatment would be completed.
After completing treatment the next step is to be monitored for a while in case the cancer comes back. This would involve a check up cystoscopy possibly 3 months later and if all is well on a regular basis for a while afterwards. Our website explains how people with non muscle invasive bladder cancer might be followed up at this link. I think the frequency and duration of check ups may vary depending on the circumstances so do ask your specialist team what they are likely to recommend.
