Swati,
Your mom is just looking for a reason for the recurrence, and probably she is not thinking too clearly at this point. There is no way a few days of aloe vera could cause cancer in her mouth. If I am reading this correctly she did not have any surgery on her tongue the first time? So her primary was not removed, although radiated. For oral tongue cancer, which your mom has, the preferred treatment is surgical removement of the lesion, then radiation and chemo if needs be. So this was cancer that was not taken care of by the radiation. If I am reading this wrong, please excuse me.
Anyway, my hope is you will find an oncologist who knows exactly what to do, which will certainly include some form of glossectomy. Keep in touch.
Best,
Anne
