Thankyou for your suggestion. I hope i can get over it
Don't panic. Most of supervisors take long time to review. You are lucky you haven't face that situation.
Just send them a polite reminder.
All the best ☺️
I can feel your pain, I hope that things take good turn for you.
What is reason of delay? Are you still part of some critical research work? Usually supervisors don't let go their bright researcher so easily, they love to keep them hostage.
You have to be diplomatic but assertive , visit him as many times you can, don't shy away. Openly inquire the reason of delay, and explain your situation and your progress too. Be diplomatic...
As @rewt said look out for some help and analyse your options Secretly. But be very careful FIRST try to fix things directly with supervisor.

If i were you I would be more than happy to defend my thesis and say Good Bye to such a (nasty) supervisor. As far as your love for science is concerned, you can rejuvenate it .
Current status: 4th year of full time PhD in clinical pathology
Scenario: prof treating as technician and delaying PhD
Research progress :
In my view: although i am a average researcher but i have given many good results to my supervisor. Even if i get 50-60% of that work, i can fillfull the gaps within this year and graduate.
In my prof 's view: as he has designed all those experiments (for almost all my research accomplishment in past 3years). As phd student i must design on my own and only that i can put in my phd thesis.
Prof's expectations: yesterday he asked me to work on proteomic side (i have limited knowledge can only clone n express proteins nd mutant proteins) and design my knock out mouse experiments. This all will take another 2 years atleast (if i am lucky enough)
Prof's remarks: you will get your degree when you will finish your work
Financial problems: Since last year, i am getting half the promised stipend. this year our lab moved to another city the living expenses are 3 times more expensive than the previous place. My parents are partially supporting me financially.
#Solution????
Can i be deprived off all the research work i have done, just because i have not designed the project at first place?????
