Medical - Medical (general) / Leukaemia/ bone marrow transplant
Spanish term or phrase: Cumplevida
Hello, I'm translating a documentary and I just came across the word "cumplevida". I know this word means the organ transplant anniversary but I'd like to know whether there's any word or shorter expression that is commonly used in this context.

I need a shorter synonym of 'organ transplant anniversary' since I'm doing a voice-over translation and the speaker speaks really fast.

The context is the following:

El trasplante de médula ósea no es ninguna operación como mucha gente puede pensar. Se hace como si fuese una transfusión de sangre, lo que pasa es que en vez de estar pasando los glóbulos rojos, que sería la sangre, lo que están pasándole es las células madre de la sangre que están en la médula. [...] Pero bueno, la verdad es que es un día super feliz y será su cumplevida.

Thank you in advance!

agree  Thomas Walker: I'm trying to get a transplant myself, so I've been exposed to this issue, & I've never run across “transplantiversary”. Obviously, the word exists & is used, but in the U.S., anyway, it seems to be pretty uncommon.

Explanation:
... it will be like his/her birthday gift.

...será como su regalo de cumpleaños.

It is not necessarily his/her birthday but as important a gift as that.
