Other than all the medical issues you are again going through as Pete suggests you need to involve your family in your battle.
If they do not know what to say just tell them that they can ask and discuss anything about this with you.
Also, even if you cannot resume your management position in the company you work for now will they not offer you another position?? One that would not require you speaking as much as I presume you need to do in your present position.
