You could sand the area, slap a piece of mesh behind it, and slather it with bondo. Then fix it in a few years.
A really cheap option many people do is cut the rust off and cover it with fender flares.
Or, the right way, is to cut it off, and weld in a patch panel. Which is not as scary as you'd think. I just did panels on my truck in the driveway this past summer and it came out pretty good actually.
If you search for threads that I started in this forum, you'll see my "monkey mechanic" handywork.
