Hi There, I Am Only 36, And Have Suffered From

Hi there,
I am only 36, and have suffered from diverticulitis, for the last 6 years.
I do suffer from, regular bleeding. The last being, last week, for three days.
Is this normal? Could I also ask, if this could lead to other commutations such as cancer? I have read many forums, with people, that have developed further problems.
I had a colonoscopy in December 2014, which was clear. But, then I has back in hospital after a lot of bleeding again.
I had another "flare" up in April, which I was in bed, for 5 days. It's like having the flu with sweats. I.E, can not move from my bed.
Many thanks,
Lorna.
