Mental Health & work while waiting diagnosis

I am really struggling with my mental health since my consultant found 2 areas of concern in my breast at the end of August. I have had 3 separate procedures since then & the latest was yesterday where they removed some tissue & carried out a VAB on the other, this was due to previous biopsies being inconclusive. I haven't been in work since 2nd September & my work called today to say that they will need to do an absence review as it is classed as long term sick & there has been no diagnosis. This meeting could result in dismissal as I am already in a final review. Can I be dismissed while investigatory procedures are ongoing & due to the impact this is all having on my mental health?
