Schueler currently resides with her husband and writing partner Gerald Schueler in Maryland. They have two birth children: Joe and Andrew; two adopted children: Diane and Crystal; and many foster children who remain close to the family including Debra Greer and Frank Smith III.

[edit] Illness

Schueler was diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus in 1982. She went into remission a year later and remained healthy until diagnosed with stage 1 breast cancer in 1993. In 1997 that diagnosis was changed to stage 4 cancer when it spread to her scalp and skull. A recurrence of the cancer on the scalp and skull occurred in 1997. This was quickly followed by a series of minor strokes, thrombosis, cardiac arrests, and numerous broken bones. She suffered 13 cardiac arrests in one day and developed heart failure.

Several cardiac catheterizations were performed and a stent and pacemaker were inserted. These helped keep her alive but she continued to suffer from acute, chronic angina until being put on oxygen therapy. This therapy appears to be working well and she is currently recovering from her heart problems. Unfortunately, the cancer has spread too far to be surgically removed, but she has managed to control it through creative visualization, imagery, and hormonal therapy. 2012 will mark the 20th anniversary of when she first discovered the lump in her breast and sought medical help.
