Time between Diagnosis and chemo?

My sister was diagnosed with stage 3C HGSC on 7/21/26. She has massive ascites and she gets paracentesis almost every week since being diagnosed. She was scheduled for port insertion and first round of chemo on 8/14, however, they just called her today (8/12) and said they want to push it out another 2 weeks to see if she qualifies for a clinical trial she agreed to at the initial office visit with the oncologist.
Her mass is 12.7 × 22.2 x 15.8 cm. People constantly ask her when she’s due, so she barely leaves the house now. My sister is so uncomfortable and I’m having a really hard time understanding why they would push it back? She was so upset after they called her today.

I feel like I’m missing something, Is this normal?
