I'm only 21 and I have the health, both mental and physical, of an 80 year old and an unhealthy one at that. There don't seem to be many positions in society available to me!
I have insanity and cancer. I have no hope of overcoming my depression. I've tried everything. I have had a horrible, traumatic life and nothing can heal me. I can't figure out how to imitate normal human expressions and I've been studying healthy people for years. My insanity has taken even more of a toll than that. It has hurt my health so bad that I have a metastasized cancerous tumour because I didn't follow healthy habits (like eating normally) all that well.
I do, however, want to be of some use during the time I have been drafted into (i.e life). Can I still serve people and perform some useful function even if I don't have much strength or vitality left or TIME left?
What now?

You seem to have an excellent vocabulary and ease of expression. Why not try spreading change through your words via the internet. You can do this from your bed, your desk or wherever. Find something about the world that you dislike that you'd like to see changed and try to make a dent. It's easy really. If you really want to do it.
While you're at it, try to use your words to instigate change in yourself. There is no command that your body and mind won't follow more readily than the one that comes from your soul. You think there is no hope for you but there is ALWAYS hope. You obviously think there is hope for the world, when it's riddled by 'tumors' of hatred, illness, and violence. Why not have the same optimisim for yourself? If you ever need anyone to talk to, my yahoo screen name is Brent_Armour. I am someone who beleives that life is the most important thing in the universe- and your life is right there with the rest of it. You have the power to bring yourself around and live a long and happy life. You merely have to beleive that you can. You are the authority on yourself and the only reason you don't have long to live, the only reason you're "insane" is because you don't beleive it can be any other way. But it actually can. Trust me.

I doubt if eating normally and not following healthy habits has anything to do with your cancer. More likely it is genetic or environmental.
If these statements are true as described by your doctor(s) your peers are best served by your service as a volunteer in a nursing home, hospital or hospice, or organization for the mentally ill. You sound remarkably well balanced for someone who is self proclaimed insane. Your life is not over and if you have the means to ask q's on yahoo then your life is not over as there are things left unfulfilled for you. If you have faith then speak to your pastor, priest, rabbi, teacher or coven leader. To give up is the worst mortal sin regardless of discipline. There are no wasted lives. There are lessons to be learned from each one, even those viewed as unmeaningful by some have merit to others.

You can be a help to anyone. You can donate your time to many charities. If you dont know of any call any church and ask what you could do to help. You could help with kids to picking up trash around the place.
Everything and anything done in a positive fashion will help people. That means if all you can do is smile sometimes at people then do that.
I really hope you find something that can help you and other people. good luck!
