Help with rust in front driver side wheel well

I haven't got a picture of the rust as of now but I'll get one in the morning. There's rust a few inches away from where some part of the suspension attaches to the body, right on the corner. There appears to be maybe two layers of metal so I'm not sure if structural or not. If anyone has experience fixing it any tips would be great. If it's not structural could I just cut it out and fill with fiberglass? If it is how would I go about safely welding it? I'll have pictures up in the morning so I can help you guys help me.
I should add that it is not surface rust and has started damaging the integrity of the metal, although the extent of it is quite small maybe 1"x2" total

Suspension parts attach to the frame, not the body. Is it the front cab mount?
