Q. For medical people. Coworker who is vaxxed has developed a Ganglion Ganglia??? Not sure the spelling. It's a large lump on his wrist. The doctor says he needs to surgically cut it out? Is this thing like the stringy blood clots that the morticians are cutting out of people? I'm wondering if he's in danger, is it indicative of his body forming these tubial growths? Please help, he's a great guy and a person of good nature. I would hate to see him die.
I had one of those in my wrist when I was in my 20’s. (I’m now almost 70). They are actually pretty benign. I had mine removed with a block and was wide awake during the surgery. Looked like a stretchy piece of clear bubble gum when it was removed I was awake and joking with the surgeons whom I knew at the time from where I worked.
About 38 years ago, I had a ganglion cyst on my right wrist. The doctor told me to have someone smack it with a big hardback book!. Went to another doctor and had it removed, twice! Way back then, doctors thought it was caused by repetitive motion (was the computer operator for a major distribution center with hours of 10 key entry daily). I would say, he should have it removed and if he is using the keyboard/10 key pad for extended periods of time daily, to ask the doctor to prescribe a brace to support the wrist while it heals.

Ganglion cyst is not related to blood vessels. It’s probably easier to search it and read up than it is for me to explain, though.
Thank you
You are welcome!
