Sherry,
I am so sorry to hear of this terrible psychic stress and pain you are experiencing. I am not a psychologist either, but I have one alternative thought, weird as it could be. You said you and your mom were very close before your dx. This anger she has could be a self-defense mechanism because she can't deal with the thought of ever losing you. It is easier to be angry and push you away than to confront the feelings of shock and grief at your dx and work through them. None of this excuses her behavior towards you in any way, it is just another possible take on it.
Please know that many, many people here care about you and your feelings. Focus on taking care of yourself and your brother for the moment. There is nothing you can do about your mother.
Take care,
Hopeful
