Kathleen,  

Check with the nurses at the locations where the biopsies are coming from. (I would not DARE tell you to call the surgeons!  This question would incense them!)   We noticed a similar problem and found the biopsies were not put in formalin immediately, some drying out completely.   
Hope this helps.
