"She is incredible. We chose to attack her diagnosis with blind optimism. We only talked about the future and continued moving forward. I don’t know if this was right but it’s all we knew how to do."

The couple share a two-year-old daughter Coda. 

Schulenburg’s first television role was as Alison Stewart in "As the World Turns." She was the second actress to take on the role after Jessica Dunphy left the show in 2005.
