Maybe it had to do with them not wanting anything on his skin during his treatments, otherwise, it doesn't make sense. Bill always showered before his rads and we put the stuff on afterwards. Definitely don't want anything interfering with the treatments. Other than that, I would love to know why they nixed the gel as long as it was pure aloe vera and no other stuff.
