hi,
i recently was called from a list and received an offer from an agency, they said it was the max they could offer. i'm currently working in private, the salary difference is about 15%, to take the city offer i'd give up 15%. i'm sure in a year or so there will be some union contract, so i might get a raise with it, but 15% sounds like a lot to me.

I wanted to see if anyone else was in a similar situation, what they did, was it worth it to take the cut now and get into the city? did they later transfer to another agency offering better pay? or the cut in the long run didn't matter as much as it sounds.

Hi,
I have a family member who had a thymoma found about 3 years back, it was removed by surgery, robotic through the left side. about a year later it returned, 2nd surgery and followed up radiation for 30 sessions. that area has since been clean, but recently a 2cm nodule was found on the left side, i believe they said near the 6th and 7th rib bone. surgeon said it's very small and recommended radiation to get rid of it.

the original oncologist suggested going with IMRT with about 30 sessions, he said SBRT was what he original thought but looking at the location wants to go with longer sessions less dosage and would like to treat about 5cm incase something else is there. We saw another oncologist, looking for a place closer to home since it's 30 sessions. the 2nd oncologist said he would go with SBRT and 5 sessions, every other day. he said only 2cm would be treated as imaging does not show anything else in the area.

Just wanted to see what is generally chosen, the 2nd one said it's common for this area and the 1st ones concern about rib fracture it's about the same with SBRT. He said it's not like going with SBRT is going to highly increase the chance of a fracture. family member's concern is a fracture in the future, if the chances are similar then we can consider the 5 vs 30, otherwise if going with SBRT the chances are much higher (ex. 5% vs 25%) then longer sessions seem to be the safer route.

hi,
i just saw a job posted online, shows posting date as 06/08/26 and posting until date as 06/10/26. i applied, but does that usually indicate that they have someone in mind, internal hire? 2 days posting seems odd.
