Brain Tumor

FWIW, I have access to a number of medical databases, one of which is Natural Medicines. Here is information from the monograph regarding aloe vera:

Radiation-induced skin toxicity. Radiation therapy for cancer often causes erythema, skin desquamation, and itching. Applying 98% aloe gel three times daily throughout radiation treatment and after treatment does not seem to reduce these radiation-related side effects in patients being treated for breast cancer (12098, 12163). Applying 100% aloe gel 6-8 times daily also does not seem to reduce these radiation-related side effects in people treated for other cancers. Also, applying an aloe-based gel once daily after radiation treatment is less effective than applying anionic phospholipid-based cream in reducing dryness, erythema, and peeling in children being treated for Hodgkin's disease (19855). However, some evidence suggests that aloe gel might prolong the time before radiation-related side effects occur, but only when the cumulative dose of radiation is high (>2,700 cGy) (12159).

It's probably not going to help you.

Regarding oral aloe:

Chemotherapy adjuvant: 10mL of a blend containing 300g of fresh aloe leaves, 500g of honey, and 40mL of 40% alcohol has been used three times daily every day either with or after administration of chemotherapy, depending on disease progression (19752).

The 19752 is a Medline link to a study that tested tumor regression in various types of metastatic cancer. There was some evidence suggesting that an aloe-based compound may help in association with chemotherapy.

It's generally going to be safe for you to take, but don't take it with Digoxin, Warfarin, or diabetes meds.
