X-ray today for hip pain."questionable acetabular lucencies" were seen. 3 of them right next to eachother. scared this could be a cancer that has met?

They are not sure: so that is why they said questionable. In general if you fear a cancer to the bone diagnosis you should ask for an MRI exam with and without contrast. They will show most mets to the bone. A non contrast CT is also pretty good but MRI is more sensitive for marrow replacing lesions
