Burkitt Lymphoma hyper-CVAD

I (35M) was recently diagnosed with EBV+ Burkitt Lymphoma and going through my first cycle A infusions this week. I know Burkitt is rare, especially in non-immunocompromised adults and also adding EBV+ so I get that there are not that many posts about it. Is there anyone that has completed hyper-CVAD?

Were you able to work at all during your cycles in hospital or while at home?
Anything that you wish you did going in that would have made things easier between cycle A and B to help mitigate things?

So far getting a port installed was a fantastic move and I’m very fortunate that I have had zero B symptoms along with great kidney function. My blood tests are pretty much all normal range except slightly below average hemo/red blood cells so I’m grateful for a strong start.
