to determine whether to add oral aloe vera juice to standard of care treatments for lip, oral cavity, hard palate, tongue, tonsil , pharyngeal, laryngeal, neck , esophageal, mediastinal, and chest wall cancers will help prevent oral mucositis and esophagitis symptoms while patients undergo radiation therapy. Symptoms will be assessed using the CTCAE v. 5.0 weekly while on treatment to determine if the addition of aloe vera juice impacts these symptoms when compared to subjects that don't receive aloe vera juice.
