Sandblast

It should be fixable. Take your car to a quality body shop. They should be able to sand blast the rust, prime, and repaint the door.
Better to do it sooner rather than later.

Pretty easy fix since it doens't look like the rust has eaten through yet.
Circular sander should do the trick then spray on some rust free primer.
