I'm glad you added that last sentence.
You are a grown woman, Deneb. I know you talk about being immature for your age and all of that, and I understand and of course, don't dispute your assessment. In fact, I think you've come to know yourself pretty well :-) In a good way - compared to several years ago, when moods and things seems more mysterious and intolerable.
But, especially in matters of life and death, you are 'grown enough' to act independently of your mother when you need to do that.
Mothers do find accepting things that don't fit with their vision of what they thought life would be like for their children difficult, no doubt. It could be a job, marriage, sexual preference, religious choices, anything, really, Sounds like the thought of any chronic type illness scares her a lot.
You are doing great, IMO.
