The presence of seizures and short-term memory problems is not related to Stage -II Breast Cancer. These symptoms can occur usually when there is spread of tumor to the brain. If your stage is definitely Stage II Breast Cancer then you should have a work-up for other causes of memory-loss and seizures. If they can be identified and cured then there will be no problems with resuming your work.
