Kidney Transplant acceptance procedure

I have been working through the following medical checks since March 2008.
Echocardiogram, PSA(Prostate),Full Blood Tests, Treadmill test,  Chest XRay ,
Hepatitis Inoculation, Consultation with Transplant Administrator, Consultation with Renal Medicine, Consultation with Transplant Surgeon, Consultation with Renal Medicine Team, Consultation with Respiratory Medicine Team, Lung CT Scan, Bronchoscopy,
Flu Vac/Pneumovax Vac.
I am currently awaiting the results of the Bronchoscopy on 27th April.
There is no guarantee that I will be added to the transplant list.
Even if I am added there is currently a 4 year waiting time for a transplant with over 400 patients on the waiting list.
Last year there were around 100 transplant operations performed.
