Thought I'd post to make it the 100th.

First glider solo 29 launches

First power solo with only four entries in my logbook! after 6:35

Like Kingy, above, I too had a medical problem that resulted in
'second first' solo's.
Resumed gliding whilst on a course of chemotherapy (although not for cancer) and flew in between infusions.
For the power stuff I had to wait until I was off some steroids but still on a milder course of chemotherapy before re-soloing, finishing my PPL and completing night and IMC ratings all in less than a year.

And I must say, the CAA were great, very supportive and knowledgable about a rare condition and very keen to get me back flying as soon as possible.
