Not really, whenever you fix rust on a car it will come back (well almost always). Structural rust is dangerous to have as it will affect the performance of the car in a crash, and it can affect the suspension. If it gets into the strut towers then your struts/springs could break through the strut towers. Basically the only way to "fix" your problem is to turn it into a SEP. Someone Else's Problem (ie sell it and get another car). I know it's not the best thing to do, but it's easier to prevent rust than to try and reverse it.
