On first meeting, Emma Consedine has a great life. A successful business owner, mum to two gorgeous boys, Frank, six, and Charlie, four, and living in North Auckland with their 15-month-old dog Roxy, the 40-year-old is effervescent and confident. Only when you discover the long blonde hair is a wig, and you see the telltale lump of a port implant in her chest, do you realise all is not what it seems.
“I’m an extrovert and for years things were hectic,” she says.
