I've only ever had one mammogram at 50 - is it every 3 or every 5 years they are done?

I get mine done every 3 years. Must be due one again soon.

2 years here in Oz and 3 for pap although I think they are trying to lengthen that one to 5 after a certain age.

Are you sure that you're not thinking of the smear test CLKD? You should be offered a mammogram on the NHS every three years between the ages of 50 and 70 http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/breast-cancer-screening/Pages/When-its-offered.aspx
