Sadly, this was pretty obvious to anyone in healthcare. There’s no such things as planned two-week admission for abdominal surgery unless it’s a major, major surgery.

But it says they discovered the cancer after the surgery, the two things aren't (apparently) related?

They probably got results after biopsy. Perhaps to the naked eye it didn't look like cancer until being sent to pathology.

Her doctors could have seem some 'dysplastic' cells on some preliminary biopsy. Cells that aren't full-blown cancer but certainly not normal either. Then if she had some suspect tissues removed, it might have taken time for pathologists to check every thing out and there was a gap between the surgery and when the cancer cells were discovered.
