Phil - are you saying you wish you had ADT immediately after surgery regardless of PSA or as soon as PSA went to 0.2 ? Sorry to interrupt this thread , I am now trying to learn about salvage treatments since with our luck and cribriform it is high probability that my husband will need it.

No, not really - it took 5 yrs to reach 0.2. In fact, survival rates are no different for either immediate or delayed SRT provided it is done within the guidelines @jeffmarc described.
However, doubling time for PSA as well as PSA velocity are very important, so immediately post surgery, if the PSA is going up quickly treatment should probably be initiated even before it hits 0.2, esp. If cribriform cells were present.
