Aibu to feel betrayed

Long story short, I'm NC with my mother and 2of my brothers. I have had a best friend since childhood who was in a relationship with one brother many years ago.

I'm having quite serious health problems that will culminate in a seriously invasive surgery. I told my husband and my grown up children (to a lesser extent)and also told them to tell no one else. A few weeks ago I had a meltdown,was stressed at work and I messaged my best friend really distressed. She made a flying visit the next day(lives in another town quite far away), we had a good chat, she calmed me down and left. Now here's the thing, she went straight to my brother and told him,who in turn told my mum who then messaged my DIL to ask if it was true!!! Furious is no where near how I felt. If I'd wanted them to know I'd have told them myself. I trusted her, AIBU to tell her I feel betrayed? To tell her that i think meeting up with my brother was more important to her than respecting my privacy? And to tell her that now the trust has gone I can't move forward from this? I'm so hurt.

Thank you, I just couldn't see a 40 year old friendship go down the plughole, I have no sisters or female cousins, we all make mistakes and as long as it's acknowledged then I can forgive and I really believe her when she says she's been stupid and it'll never happen again. I'm going to need all the support I can get shortly, better not to burn bridges. Thanks for your very helpful comments X
