Hi Rafaela
Don't worry every thing will be fine after some time.
For your thesis work you can consult to proofreaders.
Hope that you will find your solution
I have a friend who had similar issues getting samples (they were from patients and so unreliable). In the end she changed her PhD as she didn't get enough samples to do her original ideas, she ended up writing more about her new methods rather than what was in the samples. But in the end she got her PhD no problem. Perhaps think about back-up ideas and alternative things you can do if your samples will take a long time? But you still have a year left so it could be your samples come and there will be plenty of time to do your original ideas. But always good to have a back-up anyway!
