    Ep. 1: Interview with Jessica Fraser of The Mast Cell Disease Society
    Oct 20 2025
    In our very first episode, we talk to Jessica Fraser, executive director of The Mast Cell Disease Society (TMS). She shares with us her very personal connection to systemic mastocytosis and, gets deep into the many resources TMS provides for patients, caregivers and providers. We discuss the mission of TMS, the upcoming conference, support groups, advocacy, support for newly diagnosed patients, CMEs for medical providers, the nursing “hotline”, and what other disease states the TMS advocates for. You can find all of that at www.tmsforacure.org but below are some specific links to topics we discussed: ER Plan: https://tmsforacure.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/TMS_ER-Protocol-2022_fillable-Adults-UPDATE.pdf Conference: https://tmsforacure.org/tms-together-2025-community-care-in-mast-cell-diseases/ Virtual Support Groups: https://tmsforacure.org/find-support/ Provider CMEs: https://tmsforacure.org/echo/ Take some time to explore the TMS website. It is full of information, resources and support. Remember, we are not medical providers, and are not offering medical advice. We are sharing our personal experiences and stories. As always, talk to your doctor about an challenges you are facing. If you have any questions, comments, or would like to share your story, email us at podhost@mastcastpod.com.
