Since then, Keep A Breast has grown and evolved and now has many programs within the organization. Their programs include Check Yourself (Digestible breast health education through printed materials, blogs and our KAB app.); the Keep A Breast App (A free, breast self-check app helps guide you through your monthly check and can connect you with health professionals.); Fit 4 Prevention (A national movement to educate about breast cancer prevention through fitness and wellness.); Keep A Breast Give Back Grant (Directly supporting BIPOC women who are breast cancer survivors or who have been diagnosed with breast cancer.); Treasured Chest Program (Where artistry meets therapy. TCP is designed to create a safe space that allows our castees to confront both physical and emotional changes that a breast cancer diagnosis brings.); Non Toxic Revolution (Informing, educating and inspiring young people to avoid toxic chemicals in their environment and food supply—especially those linked to the initiation of breast cancer.); and their most recent program, which Shaney Jo talked about for the first time (EXCLUSIVE!!!) Keep A Breast Valley (Boutique Wellness Center is being designed as a desert community that will provide the space and tools for visitors to explore and nurture individual and collective wellness.)

Prakhar Modi is a Colorectal Cancer survivor. He developed constipation and took some home remedies, but there was no relief. When he and his wife consulted the doctor, they diagnosed it as piles, but the pain did not resolve. They again consulted the doctor, and he was asked to go for a colonoscopy, but he dropped the plan and went for a proctoscopy instead. He was diagnosed with Colorectal Cancer. Prakhar was shocked as he was not a smoker or an alcoholic. He is a pure vegetarian as well. He underwent chemotherapy and radiotherapy as a part of the treatment. Chemo even made him suicidal. He then underwent surgery and was given a colostomy bag. He is grateful to have a great family and colleagues who supported him throughout the treatment.

She emphasizes the aspect of mind, body and spirit healing heavily. She holds an optimistic outlook towards life. Anuschka believes that we must look on the brighter side when things go haywire and think that life is happening for us instead of to us. She thinks all humans are like onions- possessing infinite layers, healing and peeling as life goes by, and our purpose on Earth is to heal and get further close to the highest power.
