Notice cues from the person and respond to these. The way you write to someone who has just been diagnosed at an early primary stage is quite different from how you should write to someone who has metastatic cancer and different again from someone who is definitely terminal. Acknowledge what has been said.

Im here for you. Theres also a pretty good chance that you will be as stymied as everyone else when it comes to knowing what to say and when to say it. Whatever you need know that Im going to be right here for you.

Im sorry for what you are going through. Someone you love or just know casually is going to be diagnosed with cancer. A simple I will keep thinking of you or I wish you much love and strength or Im sending you a big hug is a perfect way to end your note.

I really admire your work ethic. Whatever youre feeling right now I want you to know that I am here for you. I wont be shocked offended or hold it against you - ever.
