Is a wrist Ganglion cyst considered a Non-Cancerous tumor?

I have a Ganglion cyst on my wrist and it keeps on coming back after I've done 2 surgical extractions. It also prevents me from doing my normal activities as it hurts so much at times.

    It's not actually a tumor - it is an overgrowth of ligamentous fibers - often from some repetitive activity that you do. You are going to have to continue working with your doctor on this, especially since you have already had 2 of them removed before.
